Dinosaurs

Dinosaurs, With Special Reference to the American Museum Collections is a non-fiction popular book on dinosaurs.

America has had a fascination with dinosaurs, particularly since the wild enthusiasm of Jurassic Park and its sequels.

In this book, famed paleontologist William Diller Matthew describes fossils from the American museum collections, including the carnivores such as Tyrannosaurus Rex, the amphibious plant eaters such as Brontosaurus, and the horned dinosaurs such as Triceratops.

A perfect primer for those who are intrigued by the giants that ruled the earth before mammals.
