Dinosaurs - Darren Naish

Dinosaurs are one of the most spectacular groups of animals that have
ever existed. Many were fantastic, bizarre creatures that still capture
our imagination: the super-predator Tyrannosaurus, the plate-backed Stegosaurus, and the long-necked, long-tailed Diplodocus. Dinosaurs: The Ultimate Guide to How They Lived taps
into our enduring interest in dinosaurs, shedding new light on
different dinosaur groups. Leading paleontology experts Darren Naish and
Paul Barrett trace the evolution, anatomy, biology, ecology, behavior,
and lifestyle of a variety of dinosaurs. They also remind us that
dinosaurs are far from extinct: they present evidence supporting the
evolution of dinosaurs to birds that exist today as approximately ten
thousand different species. Throughout their narrative Naish and Barrett
reveal state-of-the-art new findings shaping our understanding of
dinosaurs. Readers will discover, for example, how the use of
CT-scanning enables scientists to look inside dinosaur skulls, thus
gaining new insight into their brains and sense organs. Dinosaurs is a must-have for all those wanting to keep up to date about these dynamic, complicated creatures.
