1001 Facts About Dinosaurs
The Dorling Kindersley Pocket Book of Dinosaurs
From the Hunterian Museum at the University of Glasgow, Neil Clark brings dinosaurs back to life for the young and old alike.
1001 Facts About Dinosaurs and the Pocket Book of Dinosaurs are handy reference guides with full illustrations and pictures both of actual fossils, skeletons, and modern science reproductions of dinosaurs. They answer many questions about specific types of dinosaurs, their anatomy, and modern discoveries in the field. These pocket volumes also include resource and pronunciation guides, a glossary, and a complete index.
Dinosaurs are a huge subject, and these handy references contain volumes of information on all things relating to dinosaurs and the world they inhabited. The books are beautifully illustrated with drawings, fossils, skeletons, and realistic models. Silhouette comparisons between the dinosaurs and a modern human add perspective to these enormous reptiles. While there is still much to be discovered about these prehistoric creatures, these are great books for a well-rounded general knowledge of dinosaurs.
The books are well organized, with sections covering different types of dinosaurs and other sea and air animals. Readers are introduced to the field of dinosaur research, their anatomy, the first dinosaurs, and their eventual extinction. The reference section offers the names and addresses of many dinosaur museums and sites along with the invaluable pronunciation guide.
All of these books will delight dinosaur devotees. Younger children who are amazed by dinosaurs will enjoy this with some help, and those older than 10 years will absorb all of the facts by themselves.
Neil has also written material on the subject of dinosaurs for the Encarta Encyclopedia and the Dorling Kindersley Millennium Encyclopedia. Two other books by Neil that have already been published are: "A look inside dinosaurs" with Readers Digest and "The Dorling Kindersley Pocket book of dinosaurs". They can be found in most countries in numerous languages. If you find any other language versions, aside from Japanese and Greek, please let Neil know.
