Description

The essential illustrated compendium of ornithischian dinosaurs, from the tanklike Stegosaurus to duck-billed hadrosaurs

The Princeton Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs: Ornithischians brings together every species of armored and horn-faced dinosaur known to have roamed the prehistoric world, with a dedicated entry for each species describing its key characteristics, taxonomic classification, location, and known remains along with a concise history of its discovery. Each species is beautifully brought to life with vivid illustrations and is supported by meticulously detailed diagrams of all known fossils. These visual aids enable readers to explore how scientists reconstruct these incredible creatures from fossilized remains. Whether you're curious about Stegosaurus, Triceratops, or the multitude of less familiar ornithischian species, this encyclopedia covers them all.

The Princeton Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs is a comprehensive three-volume resource for anyone who is fascinated by dinosaurs. Packed with engaging dino facts and original, full-color reconstructions, drawings, and graphics, this one-of-a-kind encyclopedia strikes a perfect balance between depth and accessibility--detailed enough to captivate professionals yet clear and exciting enough for beginners eager to dive into the amazing lost world of the dinosaurs. The three volumes, available individually, are Theropods, Sauropods, and Ornithischians. Organized for easy reference, these books are perfect for casual browsing or in-depth study. Together, this encyclopedia invites dinosaur lovers of all ages to walk among the wondrous beasts of the Mesozoic era.

Critical Reviews

"The bulk of the encyclopedia is the species profiles, and I think this is where the books shine. . . . The combination of an uncluttered visual presentation, the compact but informative descriptions, and the extensive coverage that leaves no museum drawer unopened makes this the most comprehensive popular dinosaur encyclopedia currently on the market."---Leon Vlieger, The Inquisitive Biologist
