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. The contributors are Ronan Allain, Rinchen Barsbold, Kenneth Carpenter, Karen Cloward, Rodolfo A. Coria, Philip J. Currie, Peter M. Galton, Robert Gay, Donald M. Henderson, Dong Huang, James I. Kirkland, Yoshitsugu Kobayashi, Eva B. Koppelhus, Peter Larson, Junchang Lü, Lorrie A. McWhinney, Clifford Miles, Ralph E. Molnar, N. Murphy, John H. Ostrom, Gregory S. Paul, Licheng Qiu,J.

To this day, dinosaurs remain a never-ending source of fascination to children, who just can't get enough of these compelling creatures. Illustrations, picturing over 60 dinosaur types (including some new discoveries that appear here for the first time in a children's book), maps, and a guide to each individual species--plus an overall introduction to fossils--tell youngsters how and why all the dinosaurs developed as they did. Answer exactly the types of question kids want to know: How big were they? What did they eat? Where did they live? What do their names mean? This lively trip back to the Age of the Dinosaurs, from its beginnings in the Triassic period to the great extinction at the end of the Cretaceous, is guided by one of the major authorities in the field, Dr. Thomas Holtz, vertebrate paleontologist at the University of Maryland, whose specialty is the study of carnivorous dinosaurs.

For the younger fact-fan, this book depicts and describes nearly 100 different dinosaurs, pterosaurs, ichthysaurs and other prehistoric creatures. The emphasis is on SIZE: how big, tall and heavy were these creatures? Which was the biggest (and smallest) of all? Each page has either two giant folding flaps, to reveal more dinosaurs underneath, or a 4-page concertina-fold pull-out, to reveal the very LONGEST creatures, on land and under the sea. Watch out for the life-size (young) T. rex footprint - big enough for young readers to fit their own foot inside!
