Description
Sixty-six million years ago, a gigantic asteroid slammed into Earth, wiping out the dinosaurs. There's strong evidence of the asteroid impact, but no fossils of a dinosaur killed in the event have ever been found. Now, at a dig site in North Dakota, scientists have uncovered a wealth of fossilized creatures that could reveal a more detailed picture of the devastating day the asteroid hit. Following a trail of remarkably well-preserved fossils, including...

Examines the ultimate fighters of the Jurassic period, the gigantic beasts that stalked the earth millions of years ago. Some of these dinosaurs were larger than seven-story buildings and hunted their prey with strategy and cunning, transforming the prehistoric world into a battlefield.

"Some 250 million years ago, the earth suffered the greatest biological crisis in its history. Around 95 percent of all living species died out - a global catastrophe far greater than the dinosaurs' demise 65 million years ago. How this happened remains a mystery. But there are many competing theories. Some blame huge volcanic eruptions that covered an area as large as the continental United States; others argue for sudden changes in ocean levels...

Description
"The articles collected in this volume ... are meant to give an overview of what we've come to learn about dinosaurs. Because our understanding grows and changes with each new discovery, the selections were culled exclusively from the past decade. Most are examples of what some would call "popular" science writing: pieces intended for anyone interested in the topic, not just experts." -- Preface.
