I just bought this book from Amazon and currently reading it. I enjoy this book and yes the photos are very detailed and realistic. Dinosaurs and prehistoric life by DK publishing is also a good book too if you haven’t read it.
Evan, please see my other comment here about my story with Dinosaurs. But briefly stated, I'm almost 50 and I was hugely into Dinosaurs as a young kid in the late 70s. I had Dinosaur books like crazy. But once I started school in 78, and got busier into that a few years later, I kinda fell out of step with Dinosaurs. Until the Jurassic Park movies started coming out in '93. But the thing is, a lot of the names of Dinos I knew as a kid had changed, and it kinda confused a bit. I was like, "Wait? What?" ya know? And even then, I have always wanted a comprehensive reference guide of a book of most of if not all the different species of dinos known to us. And it looks like you may have created that very thing. I just ordered a copy and I'm really looking forward to checking this thing out. My favorite species of all time was the Triceratops variants. Always thought that those guys would have been the best dinos to have been. Herbivores, plenty of food around, and a way to protect yourself from the carnivores. Kinda like a tank. But then the Anklyosaurs were a close second. Armored shell with a club for a tail. Had plastic models as a kid for both these guys.
As a huge Dinosaur fan from when I was a kid in the 70s, I have always been looking for a comprehensive reference book for Dinosaurs. As we know the world around Dinosaurs has changed quite a bit over the last 35-40 years. Species I knew as a kid, suddenly got name changes, and other things. So I was just surfing Amazon the other day, and this book came recommended when I was looking at some MARVEL omnibus books. And I checked out the listing, saw the hefty 700+ page count and 1200+ species count, read the few review on it, and decided, that this almost 50 year old would take the plunge for $40-ish bucks and check it out. I recently bought the illustration companions for the two Avatar films. They were pretty well done as well, although not nearly as thick as this Dino book. But anyway, I look forward in checking this thing out. I haven't really been that deep into researching Dinos since roughly 1980 or so, but look forward to getting up to date with some of my old friends and new ones. I hear that the Brontosaurus name is back. Is that correct? Back from Apatosaurus, or whatever it was... Well, like I said, this should be cool. I thought about investing in the Dino Encycopedia series years and years ago, but that was gonna be expensive as Hell and it had numerous updates and whatnot, and I decided, nah, I don't need all that. But the fact that this book here just came out earlier this year is awesome. And from a new and upcoming paleontologist is also very cool. Which means he's gonna be around for awhile.
The author chosen for this book is African American. First the Afrocentrists say that they invented every civilization on Earth. Soon they will start teaching themselves that all the paleontology discoveries were by blacks.

Thank you very much Chris!

Great vid! 🦖🦕
Hi Chris!
How much this book cost in Pakistani currency?
I have looked around to see if the book is available in your region and I couldn't find it.
The author chosen for this book is African American.
First the Afrocentrists say that they invented every civilization on Earth. Soon they will start teaching themselves that all the paleontology discoveries were by blacks.
Is it in the book? also who the black author? i believe it's not julius
