Archosauria: A New Look At The Old Dinosaur
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good. Dust jacket: Worn/faded, no tears. Page Condition: Minor foxing to page edge. Markings: No visible markings.
A landmark work in natural history and palaeontology, Archosauria: A New Look at the Old Dinosaur presents a revolutionary reinterpretation of the archosaurs — the ancient ruling reptiles that dominated the Earth for millions of years. John C. McLoughlin argues compellingly that dinosaurs were far more dynamic and bird-like than the cold-blooded, lumbering giants of earlier scientific consensus, drawing on cutting-edge (for its time) research to reconstruct these creatures with new vigour. The book chronicles the evolutionary history of the archosaur lineage, tracing its origins through to its modern descendants, most notably birds, in a narrative that is both scientifically rigorous and richly illustrated. Written with clarity and passion, it stands as an essential text for anyone captivated by prehistoric life and the science of palaeontology.
