Dinosaurs, with Special Reference to the American Museum Collections
William Diller Matthew and Barnum Brown
The great skeletons in the American Museum halls once walked the earth, and this guide explains how. Matthew introduces the Age of Reptiles, its span and significance, then the dinosaurs themselves as revealed by the museum's collections. Clear, illustrated, and written for the wondering visitor. Meet the giants of deep time, bone by bone.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
