Title: Best dinosaur book I own, hands down.
Review: I read Scientific American fairly regularly, and so thought this might be a good book to try. After only a few chapters I was highly impressed. Most books I've bought on the subject are really just lists of dinosaurs with a few blurbs and factoids set against some pretty art, while others are heavy on the mechanics of paleontology and talk about things like the strata of rock you find fossils is (which while important info, can be rather boring.) This book has a high level of detail, while not getting boring. For example, I had only a vaugue idea of what cladistics was, and thought it would be boring even if I did, but the essay on the subject was very simple without being condescending. If you like dinosaur books, but are tired of too much artwork with no substance behind them, this book is for you.
