From water "woodlice" as big as a platter to Diplocaulus with boomerang-shaped heads, from the colossal titanosaur to Neanderthal "cave people," the world of prehistoric animals is mind-boggling. Budding young paleontologists will find everything they need to know to begin their studies with Dorling Kindersley's impressive Dinosaur Encyclopedia and Dinosaur Hunter CD-ROM. Divided into four sections--Fish and Invertebrates, Amphibians and Reptiles, Dinosaurs and Birds, and Mammals and Their Ancestors--the thick volume describes just what kinds of critters have walked, swum, slithered, and flown the earth. Breathtaking photographs, realistic models, and full-page reconstructions of prehistoric environments allow the reader to enter the mysterious landscapes of these ancient behemoths, while comprehensive and easy-to-use text explores how animals evolved, how scientists find and use fossils, and when, where, and how various creatures lived and died. A timeline bar enables readers to determine the geological era in which a given animal lived, fact boxes provide a quick profile of the main creature featured in each animal entry, and a large reference section provides a fossil timeline, paleontological processes, biographies of leading scientists, and tips for the amateur fossil hunter. Wow! All this, and fun to read, too! (Ages 8 and older) --Emilie Coulter
Book Description
A comprehensive new reference book for young paleontologists aged 8 years and up. Easy to use cladograms illustrate how different groups of organisms are related to one another.

Misleading Title!!
2002/3/16
The title of this book is misleading, I was expecting hundreds of pages on dinosaurs but that's not what I got!! Nevertheless it has good information on the prehistoric life and evolution of : Fish and invertebrates,amphibians and reptiles,dinosaurs and birds and mammals and their ancestors. The reference section in itself is almost half the book; among other things it includes a geological time chart, biographies of geologists and a good glossary. I really do think that this book should have a different title.

I originally bought this book for my grand children who love dinosaurs,and ended up keeping it.This book is not just about dinosaurs but it is about the evolution of life from the beginning.As usual Dorling Kindersley produced an excellent book superbly illustrated.I highly recommend it for people of any age.It is now part of my library.

There's more than dinosaurs, and they finally get attention!
2003/2/11
This book is one of a brilliant few that tries to explore the prehistoric world as more than just dinosaurs (and the similar Mesozoic animals). Instead, there is a great overview of every major group, with many animals being discussed that most people would not be aware of. It's great to see the opportunity for someon's horizons to be broadened, even if the information is mostly introductory. It's also great to see a book that doesn't end with the usual discussion of human evolution as if that is an apex) but instead discusses it among primate evolution, early in the mammal section.
The only reservation about this book is the title, which might be misleading (but at least it would be a good surprise, not a disappointment).
