3.0 out of 5 stars
needs some updating, April 22, 2000
This review is from: The Dinosaur Encyclopedia (Paperback)
This book is 16 years old and needs some updating but it also contains a large amount of valid and valuable stuff. It is interesting to compare it with newer books about dinosaurs and see how much more we know about our reptilian predecessors than in 1984. Dino fans, give this one a chance!

UGHHH!, June 21, 2000
This review is from: The Dinosaur Encyclopedia (Paperback)
This book is good for one so out of date. However, it mentions two pioneers in the field of paleontology (Joseph Leidy, E.D. Cope), yet does not mention the fact that they worked for The Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. The first dino skeleton ever displayed by Leidy (hadrosuarus foulkii) was displayed at the Academy. It is a sad day when you dicuss the history of paleontology yet neglect to mention the Academy.
