The Mesozoic Era
Dinosaurs--large or small, rapaciously carnivorous or timid--have captured the imaginations of children and adults alike since the first fossil discoveries mapped them onto our general body of knowledge. This book journeys to an era long before humans, where dinosaurs were once masters of land, sky, and sea. In addition to accounts of significant dinosaur species and their extinction, readers will learn about the major life forms, both plant and animal, alongside whom dinosaurs dwelled, as well as the geographical and environmental factors that affected their subsistence.

Series Review: **STARRED REVIEW**"This series surveys the geologic and biological history of the earth. Each volume begins with a table of contents that minutely breaks down the chapters by types of life forms and geologic stages and periods. This detailed breakdown allows these books to function both as general overviews and quick reference resources. An introductory chapter includes a helpful geologic time scale chart...Scattered illustrations, photographs, maps, and charts further illuminate the text. These challenging volumes will meet the needs of upper level students. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED."
