"Dino" Don Lessem brings readers face-to-face with various dinosaur species, detailing their habitats, way of life and how they became extinct. An acclaimed dinosaur expert, Don Lessem has written more than 30 children's books, writes a popular dinosaur column in Highlights magazine, and was an adviser for Jurassic Park. Take a trip through dinosaur time to meet these armored dinosaurs face-to-face: The thick body armor of Ankylosaurus was stronger than the teeth of Tyrannosaurus rex! Gastonia had eyelids covered with bone! Euoplocephalus could swing its tail club like a weapon! Plus, you'll get to know Edmontonia, Huayangosaurus, Minmi, Pinacosaurus, and Stegosaurus!

Brings together the latest studies by an international group of dinosaur palaeontologists and provides descriptions of the original specimens of Hyaleosaurus and Stegosaurus

Armored dinosaurs were four-legged tanks. To defend themselves against giant and fearsome carnivores, they evolved to have scaly body armor, club-like tails, horns, bony plates, and large spikes. Learn about this and more as your experience what the dinosaur age was like for armored dinosaurs. Illustrations on every page bring these creatures to life in all theur razor-sharp, long-necked, spiny, scaly glory.

Describes how armor helped dinosaurs such as Albertosaurus and Edmontonia to survive attack, as well as how scientists have learned about armored dinosaurs through studying fossils.

"Palaeontologists Victoria Arbour and David Evans take readers on a journey from the badlands of Havre, Montana, and the accidental discovery of a brand new species of dinosaur, to the bustling city of Toronto, Ontario and the dinosaur's new home at the Royal Ontario Museum."--Back cover.

Surveys the dinosaurs and other smaller prehistoric reptiles and describes many individual species.

The Great Dinosaurs includes an overview of the discovery and study of dinosaur skeletons, as well as detailed information on their anatomy, their ability to adapt and other potential reasons for the great success of these bizarre creatures. The book also includes detailed coverage of the palaeogeography and climactic conditions which exercised tremendous influence on the origin of new species of dinosaurs. This book is packed with facts and information from the latest discoveries and research for readers who are already dinosaur enthusiasts and will stir the imagination of those who aren't yet.

The discovery of dinosaurs and other large extinct saurians - a term under which the Victorians commonly lumped ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, pterosaurs and their kin - makes exciting reading and has caught the attention of palaeontologists, historians of science and the general public alike. The papers in this collection go beyond the familiar tales about famous fossil hunters and focus on relatively little-known episodes in the discovery and interpretation (from both a scientific and an artistic point of view) of dinosaurs and other inhabitants of the Mesozoic world. They cover a long time span, from the beginnings of modern scientific palaeontology in the 1700s to the present, and deal with many parts of the world, from the Yorkshire coast to Central India, from Bavaria to the Sahara. The characters in these stories include professional palaeontologists and geologists (some of them well-known, others quite obscure), explorers, amateur fossil collectors, and artists, linked together by their interest in Mesozoic creatures.

Includes the "Annual report of the Geological Survey of India," 1867-
