Reviews

"Anyone serious about learning details of dinosaur biology would do no better than to read this book. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through researchers/faculty; general readers." (Choice, 1 November 2012) "It is up-to-date, well-researched and the topics are perceptively argued or discussed, and I would unhesitatingly recommend it, as 'start-up' reading, to my own undergraduates and research students." (Geological Magazine, 2012)
