Description
Aimed at the general reader, Jurassic West, Second Edition recounts the discovery of many important Late Jurassic dinosaurs made at the famous bone beds of the Morrison Formation.
"A very well-written book. The prose flows easily; it is hard to stop reading once one starts. The presentation of scientific information is excellent. Rather than creating a synthesized story, Foster presents material in its true complexity without resorting to annoying speculation. . . . There is much to be learned from reading this book . . . Recommended."
"This book makes the discovery and science of dinosaurs easily accessible to a variety of audiences with differing backgrounds."
". . . a valuable reference for Morrison specialists. It is a comprehensive, logically structured, well-illustrated, and extremely well-written book. . . . Foster's ability to incorporate such a large body of information, and yet make it accessible, interesting, and useful to a wide variety of readers, is a remarkable achievement."
