Dino-birds: From dinosaurs to birds

Dino-Birds

What do T.rex and the robin have in common?

Much more than you might realise. This book argues that the robin in your garden is a modern dinosaur, albeit a small one, but perhaps just as aggressive as its distant giant relative.

Fascinating dinosaur facts are packed into this book that explores the ever-growing evidence supporting the evolution of dinosaurs to birds.

The origins of the birds has until now been one of the great enigmas of evolution. Fossils rarely show soft tissues such as hair and feathers, the crucial proof needed to find the missing links in the evolutionary trail. That was until the discovery seven years ago of the first feathered dinosaur from the fine-grained slate of the Lianoning Province of China.

Dino-birds explores the ever-growing evidence supporting the evolution of dinosaurs to birds. Dinosaur expert Angela Milner looks at the astounding fossil 'feathery' dinosaurs from China and the bird fossils from other sites around the world, to take us on a journey from those dinosaurs to the birds we see today. Looking at the people involved and the debates that ensued, this is an exciting little book packed with information on every page, and beautifully illustrated throughout.
