Handy Dinosaur Answer Book

My uncle give me this book several years ago, it had belonged to him,and he liked that and I like it, I think it's really REALLY good book,especially for starters, it is for ALL AGES, this is not a kids book. In the Paleontology field which always expanding, not to mention always something new to pop out, it's always good to have different sources, since dinosaurs name can change, or for Example Another dinosaur that might be bigger than T-REX might have been found. This book is a good illustration book, and lots of good reading up to the time the book was written.

Everybody has been fascinated by dinosaurs at some point in their life. Some of us never get over that fascination. This book is written for us. There are literally dozens of books written for elementary students with lots of pictures and very little information. There are a number of books targeted at the paleoscience student. But I have found precious few books that fall in between these two extremes. Of those, I would rank this book #1 on the list. The format of the book (and all the books in this series) is probably one of the best around; question followed by answer. No reading a drawn-out explanation, just the answer. It's not just limited to simple grade school questions either. I found a number of the question really interesting and thought provoking. All of the questions are answered thoroughly without bludgeoning the reader with technical terms or concepts. This is the book to get started learning more about paleontology/paleobotony. Anyone from 10 - 80 should find this book informative and easy to follow. A real credit to the authors and publishers. I highly recommend this title.

Ideal for readers of all ages and examining scientific history and wonders with a set of commonly asked facts and figures, Dinosaur Answer Book uses fifteen subject-oriented chapters to reveal dinosaur facts, from the accuracy of them movie Jurassic Park to how scientists discover and classify dinosaurs.
