Reviews

"Fernando Novas has been in the thick of things, personally involved as a researcher in some of the major issues in the renaissance of South American dinosaur palaeontology. Among his important discoveries are the abelisaurids, a previously unknown group of Gondwanan predators (with Jose Bonaparte); the extremely primitive Eoraptor; and new finds of herrerasaurs. He gives personal as well as professional insights to these finds. Definitely recommended!" Tom Holtz, University of Maryland
