Anyone who thinks the study of fossils is dry, boring work should take a look
at The Marshall Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Animals,
edited by Douglas Palmer. It’s full of beautiful and accurate illustrations of
hundreds of vertebrates animals from millions of years ago, every detail of
which has been gleaned from fossil remains. There’s natural history as well, so
you can learn all you want about the lives of these latter-day TV stars. A
knockout bargain. published by Marshall, £25, ISBN 1840281529.
