The essential illustrated compendium of theropod dinosaurs, from the mighty Tyrannosaurus to fierce feathered raptors
The Princeton Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs: Theropods brings together every species of predatory dinosaur known to have roamed the prehistoric world, with a dedicated entry for each species describing its key characteristics, taxonomic classification, location, and known remains along with a concise history of its discovery. Each species is beautifully brought to life with vivid illustrations and is supported by meticulously detailed diagrams of all known fossils. These visual aids enable readers to explore how scientists reconstruct these incredible creatures from fossilized remains.
