Critics Review
“One of American Institute of Graphic Arts’ Top 50 Books / 50 Covers of 2021”“
A handy A-Z updating dinosaur fans and those with a general interest in natural history on the fascinating and ever-changing world of dinosaur research. The book has the feel of a real labour of love, the author sharing his passion for palaeontology with the general reader. Even the horned dinosaur on the front cover seems to be smiling.
”—Mike Walley, Everything Dinosaur”[A] friendly and breezy tour of dinosaurs and what paleontologists have come to know about them.”—Riley Black, Science“Darren Naish has done a masterful job in avoiding arcane terminology as much as possible. …I can say without reservation, it is a very satisfying little book from start to finish.
”—David Gascoigne, Travels with Birds“Dinopedia is both a book of well-written trivia to be whipped out at a dinner party and an up-to-date primer on dinosaur diversity.”—Leon Vlieger, Inquisitive BiologistAbout The Author
