A fun, speedy read for grown-ups who love dinosaurs - a great way to get into the subject * Professor Michael Benton, author of The Dinosaurs Rediscovered * A warp-speed tour of dinosaurs, with an expert guide. * Professor Steve Brusatte, bestselling author of 'The Rise and Fall of Dinosaurs' * An eminently accessible read, Lomax provides a perfect primer (or refresher) for dino fans and newbies, yet doesn't skimp on the fascinating details that make 21st century palaeontology so vibrant. * Dr Rebecca Wragg Sykes, author of 'Kindred' * If you were a dinosaur fan when you were a kid and never lost interest, I encourage you to check out this book. Paleontology has come a long way since the 1990s and there have been many finds that have changed the way we think about these creatures. This book covers a lot of ground and it's all packaged in a quick, easy read that will supply you with many fun dinosaur facts for entertaining or educating purposes. * Kallie Moore, host of PBS Eons Show *
