The Encyclopedia of Paleontology is designed to address the shortage of general reference works on both vertebrate and invertebrate paleontology and to serve the needs of students and lay persons interested in the field. As the encyclopedia aims to provide basic information, the majority of the 350 entries are devoted to explanations of paleontological concepts and techniques, examinations of the evolutionary development of particular organisms and biological features, profiles of major discoveries, and biographies of leading scientists. Each entry includes an essay and a further reading list. An international team of 200 leading experts in the field has prepared the illustrations and the essays, which range from concise descriptions to comprehensive discussions.

Synopsis: Writer and movie director and producer Glut, who specializes in dinosaurs, continues to expand his 1997 reference on the extinct creatures by compiling new information based on recent research by paleontologists and corrected or emended old information. He intends to provide a handy reference tool for professional scientists and students, as well as less technical information of interest to the more casual dinosaur enthusiast. The main section describes the dinosaurian genera; others consider systematics, doubtful taxa that have been named but not fully described or delineated, and excluded genera.-Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc.
