Beschreibung

Dinosaurs continues to make science exciting and understandable to science and non-science majors alike, through its emphasis of scientific concepts rather than disembodied facts. Fully updated, this beautifully illustrated, lively and engaging text will encourage students to ask questions and think like a scientist.

Über den Autor

David E. Fastovsky is Professor and Chair of the Department of Geosciences at the University of Rhode Island. His interest in dinosaurs began in his early years when he read about a paleontologist's adventures in the Gobi Desert early in the twentieth century. Dinosaurs won out years later when he had the tough decision of choosing between a career in music or paleontology. He has since carried out fieldwork all over the world. He is known as a dynamic teacher as well as a respected researcher on the environments in which dinosaurs roamed, as well as their extinction.
