Summary |
Synopsis: Writer and movie director and producer Glut, who specializes in dinosaurs, continues to expand his 1997 reference on the extinct creatures by compiling new information based on recent research by paleontologists and corrected or emended old information. He intends to provide a handy reference tool for professional scientists and students, as well as less technical information of interest to the more casual dinosaur enthusiast. The main section describes the dinosaurian genera; others consider systematics, doubtful taxa that have been named but not fully described or delineated, and excluded genera.-Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc |
