| The New Dinosaurs by William Stout Ibooks - Simon & Schuster, 2000 ISBN 0743407245 Reviewed by our UK Editor Rachel A. Hyde Some things seem to be an unfailing source of fascination and delight. Dinosaurs surely fit this bill. Imagine a combination of classic state-of-the-art comic book graphics, and textbooks with the latest findings in palaeontology - and you would have imagined this wonderful coffee table book, a reissue of the best in natural history with up-to-the-minute additions. This is dinosaurs as you have never seen them before. In glorious color, depicted in a style that combines the art of Marvel Comics with Arthur Rackham and Zdenek Burian. They feed, breed, play, display, live, die and everything in between, narrated by brief snapshot essays as though observed by a hidden watcher. Find out the longest, widest, tallest and smallest dinosaurs; see each dinosaur’s closest relations and read about the world they lived in. It won’t tell you everything you need to know but a search on the Internet – or a visit to a library – will provide enough material and leads to bridge gaps in any chosen area of knowledge. The New Dinosaurs will whet your appetite to find out more and give you a superb visual rendition of the way the world must have been. A timely release for Christmas, this is sure to become a favorite and a classic.
