Dawn of the Dinosaurs

Dawn of the Dinosaurs: Life in the Triassic is not for the faint of heart. It’s not a book that “popularizes” science. It lacks too much in the way of description and illustration for that. And it’s not really a scholarly work that argues a thesis. It’s more of a catalogue of triassic fossils from around the world, or a superficial glance at the state of the science in the field. The illustrations by Douglas Henderson are exquisitely done, but are too infrequent to be of much aid to the text.

If you want to learn something new about the animals of the Triassic, you may just want to look for a different book.
