How strong was a duckbill dinosaur's jaw? Could the gigantic Apatosaurus really live outside the water? Could it run? How did ankylosaurs use their tail armor? The science of biomechanics (the study of the "engineering" of living things) is combining with sophisticated computer modeling to produce more detailed answers than we have ever had before to questions about how the basic anatomy of dinosaurs affected how they lived, and vice versa. In this beautifully illustrated book, the world's leading dinosaur experts team up with brilliant computer modelers to give you an intriguing look at the complex interaction of structure and behavior. TOC: 1. Carnosaurs (Ken Carpenter). 2. Raptors and other small meat eaters (Paul Sereno). 3. Horned Dinosaurs (Scott Sampson). 4. Duckbills (David Weishampel). 5. Stegosaurs (Jim Kirkland). 6. Pachycephalosaurs (Dale Russell). 7. Segnosaurs (Dale Russell). 8. Ostrich Dinosaurs (Jim Farlowe). 9. Sauropods (David Gillette). 10. Ankylosaurs (Jim Kirkland).
Through advanced technology, the 3-D motions of dinosaurs are documented for the first time in a comprehensive, insightful survey of these extinct creatures and their anatomies. 175 illustrations, 75 full-color.
