"Great fun for dinophiles"

-- New Scientist

 

 

"'One thing must be made clear from the start: this is a work of fiction.'

Having gotten that admission out of the way at the very beginning of his text,

paleontologist Gee goes on to explain that picturing the outsides

of dinosaurs known to us only by their bones is inherently

an act of imagination, but one based on scientific realities...

Rey, a leading dinosaur artist, pictures his subjects in action,

climbing trees, chasing prey, baring their fearsome fangs

in habitats ranging from jungle to seaside.

At the end of his introduction, Gee returns to the question of veracity -

the dinosaurs probably didn't look as pictured here, he admits: "they were far, far stranger."

But dinophiles will enjoy this excursion into a vividly illustrated possible past world."

-- Publishers Weekly

 

 

"If there are field guides for birds and flowers,

why not one for the giant creatures that roamed Earth

until 65 million years ago? In A Field Guide to Dinosaurs, Henry Gee delivers...

Browsing a field guide has seldom been this fun.

You may never spot an actual dino in the wild,

but it would nice to have A Field Guide to Dinosaurs

on hand…just in case."

 

"This new book is not Luis' first but it is his masterpiece...

Gee provides very thorough info and in combination

with Rey's illustrations, this is the perfect book

for dinosaur enthusiasts (and artists) of all ages.

'Field Guide' gets the PT guarantee of satisfaction."

-- Prehistoric Times

 

"A Field Guide to Dinosaurs does not aim to be factual

so much as to be an enjoyable and provocative exercise

in dinosaur biology, something the authors have made as clear as water.

Thus, if you are ready for a trip to the Mesozoic, get comfortable,

fasten your seatbelt, and don't worry

if you forget your binoculars - you may not need them after all!"

-- Luis M. Chiappe in PLoS Biology

 

"The fascinating, attractively designed and beautifully

illustrated book is sure to pique imaginations.

Accompanying the text are stunning color illustrations" --  Booklist
