David E. Fastovsky is Professor and Chair of the Department of Geosciences at the University of Rhode Island. His interest in dinosaurs began in his early years when he read about a paleontologist's adventures in the Gobi Desert early in the twentieth century. Dinosaurs won out years later when he had the tough decision of choosing between a career in music or paleontology. He has since carried out fieldwork all over the world. He is known as a dynamic teacher as well as a respected researcher on the environments in which dinosaurs roamed, as well as their extinction.

Rezensionen
'This book has it all; this new, fourth edition catches up with all the new ideas from the past ten years, and presents the exactment of being a dinosaur scientist, in the field digging up skeletons, but also in the lab, using the latest tools of science to understand how these amazing ancient animals lived.'
