A survey of the noted paleontologists who have uncovered and studied dinosaur fossils including information on their findings

Based on the American Museum of Natural History's archives, this book provides a picture of each of the 58 species whose skeletons are exhibited in the museum's Great Hall of Dinosaurs. It also recounts the history of each fossil's discovery, excavation and acquisition by the museum. Among the topics covered are each dinosaur's features, distribution, size and diet, and the book offers insights into how their evolutionary history has unravelled over the past 150 years. An account is included of the bird-like dinosaur fossil recently discovered in Mongolia by one of the book's co-authors, Mark Norell.

"Books on dinosaurs have generally arranged them in terms of their classification or according to when they lived. This major new book looks at dinosaurs from a historical perspective, from the earliest scrappy finds and best guesses of the early 1800s to the spectacular key discoveries that changed people s minds and brought dinosaurs alive in the public consciousness." "Key finds for each century are examined in chronological order, with information about the dinosaurs themselves interwoven with accounts of their actual discovery and the extraordinary scientists and explorers who found them. On this fascinating journey, we come back to the same sorts of dinosaurs more than once as new discoveries changed ideas on their appearance, biology or behaviour. The amazing new dicoveries in China and South America in the last few years are fully documented, as are the major new finds of the 21st century." --Book Jacket.
