A scientific revolution, kick-started in the late 1960s by astounding new discoveries and a succession of new ideas, has shown that these magnificent creatures were marvels of evolution that surpassed modern reptiles and mammals in size, athletic abilities, and more. Darren Naish sheds invaluable light on our current, fast-changing understanding of dinosaur diversity and evolutionary history, and discusses the cultural impacts of dinosaurs through books, magazines, and movies. Naish also shows how our emerging view of these animals is very much a human story about ambition and competing egos, revealing that controversy and disagreement are commonplace in the vigorous field of dinosaur studies.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eWith a wealth of original illustrations by the author, u003ciu003eDinopediau003c/iu003e is an informative and entertaining collection of lore for the dinosaur lover in all of us.u003c/pu003eu003culu003eu003cliu003eFeatures a real cloth cover with an elaborate foil-stamped designu003c/liu003eu003c/ulu003e
