excellent resource for all dinosaur enthusiasts

This book indeed, is probably the best pocketbook of dinosaurs out there. The main dinosaur groups discussed are: small therapods, maniraptorans, bigger therapods, camarasaurids, brachiosaurids, hadrosaurids, ankylosaurids, and many more. Also, ramphorynchids and pteradactyloids are discussed in their own seperate sections. This book is very complete. The drawings are quite nice and brightly colored, and it looks like the artwork of john sibbick. The thing that makes the book good is it shows skeletal drawings and muscle layouts, allowing you to get a better visual picture of what these animals looked like. And very briefly, the relationship of birds and dinosaurs are discussed in one of the last chapters, although the relationships are talked about throughout the book. There's a timeline at the bottom of each of the pages that showed when certain dinosaurs lived, and a world map of where the dinosaurs have been unearthed. To a normal person, this maybe just another dinosaur book. But if you actually read it, you will find out what I'm talking about.
