Recenzii
"Triceratops and its kin may hail from the dim and distant past, but this new volume brings them fully into the light of today. An all-star and comprehensive list of authors not only effectively put horned dinosaurs in the context of their own time and place, but also bring them alive as living, breathing biological organisms. New Perspectives on Horned Dinosaurs is able proof of the vitality of modern dinosaur science, bringing to bear 21st-century ideas and approaches to ask--and answer--questions that once would have been thought to be out of reach." Larry Witmer, Ohio University
"New Perspectives on the Horned Dinosaurs records a landmark event, which make clear that our understanding of this group is undergoing truly explosive growth. To give just one measure, the number of ceratopsids discussed at this meeting represented a doubling of species compared to a comprehensive review of this clade published just three years earlier. The remarkable abundance of newly discovered forms was augmented by presentation of rigorous studies of stratigraphy, phylogeny, ontogeny, biomechanics, taphonomy, paleogeography, and paleoenvironment. These results, including descriptions of 10 new taxa, are captured in this volume, which will be a must-own for dinosaur paleontologists and enthusiasts alike." Scott Sampson, University of Utah
"From Archaeoceratops to Zuniiceratops, from the Alaska to Mexico, and from sediments to functional morphology, this book covers much of present-day research on ceratopsians. These horned dinosaurs are rendered as living, behaving, and evolving organisms throughout the 36 chapters of this book. I encourage everyone interested in how a myriad of incredible fossils can inform about life of the past to read it." David Weishampel , co-editor of The Dinosauria and co-author of Dinosaurs: A Concise Natural History
"This book captures an explosion of new and exciting research on one of the most fascinating groups of dinosaurs. It will be a landmark in the study of ceratopsians." David C. Evans, University of Toronto
"New Perspectives on Horned Dinosaurs is an impressive undertaking. The synthesis of contemporary ceratopsian research and North American paleoenvironmental work makes this book a necessary addition to the library of anyone interested in dinosaur biology and evolution." The Quarterly Review of Biology
