Updated with the material that instructors want, Dinosaurs continues to make science exciting and understandable
to non-science majors through its narrative of scientific concepts rather than endless facts. It now contains new
material on pterosaurs, an expanded section on the evolution of the dinosaurs and new photographs to help students
engage with geology, natural history and evolution. The authors ground the text in the language of modern evolutionary
biology, phylogenetic systematics, and teach students to examine the paleontology of dinosaurs exactly as the professionals
in the field do using these methods to reconstruct dinosaur relationships. Beautifully illustrated, lively and
engaging, this edition continues to encourage students to ask questions and assess data critically, enabling them
to think like a scientist.
