Seventy-six million years ago, one young dinosaur's life came to an end. It was an Albertosaurus, distant relative to the Tyrannosaurus Rex. But its death was also a beginning--the start of its transformation into a fossil that would lie undiscovered for millennia. This book, perfect for dinosaur devotees young and old, explores the two lives of this Albertosaurus. It reconstructs the world as this dinosaur would have known it and details how an archaeology team from the Royal Tyrrell Museum excavated and preserved the fossil. Colorful, factual drawings of the dinosaur era, detailed scientific drawings, and black-and-white and color photographs complement the text

The meat-eating dinosaurs, or Theropoda, include some of the fiercest predators that ever lived. Some of the group's members survive to this day—as birds. The theropod/bird connection has been explored in several recent works, but this book presents 17 papers on a variety of other topics. It is organized into three parts. Part I explores morphological details that are important for understanding theropod systematics. Part II focuses on specific regions of theropod anatomy and biomechanics. Part III examines various lines of evidence that reveal something about theropods as living creatures.
