This beautifully illustrated undergraduate textbook emphasises understanding science over memorisation of dinosaur facts.

'? Fastovsky and Weishampel have been at the forefront of this genre ? One rather interesting section ? deals with slightly more philosophical questions relating to the history of ideas as well as the major contributors to the study of dinosaurs ? It is ? concise as well as being accessible and highly informative on the topic of dinosaurs and the science that can be applied to understanding them. As a well-structured, thoughtful and helpful undergraduate teaching guide it is absolutely excellent.' David Norman, The Geographical Journal
