Addresses these questions: What does the fossil record really tell us about the evolution and extinction of dinosaurs? What was the dinosaurs' exact relationships to the rest of the organic world? And what do they disclose about our own place in the history of life? They give us an authentic-fantasy-free understanding of these remarkable animals. They use photos, original drawings, maps, charts, diagrams, and historical and contemporary narratives to answer all our questions about the lives and characteristics of dinosaurs and to assess the genealogical relationships among these animals, and between them and later species. Illustrated.
