  | Full Text Reviews: Booklist - 04/01/2015 Tyrannosaurus rex, possibly the most iconic of dinosaurs, did not claim his crown through a single discovery. The identification and scientific understanding of the “Tyrant Lizard King” was the work of many people over a long period of time. This book in the Dinosaur Discovery Timelines series presents 10 location-specific time lines that pinpoint the paleontological finds that have led to our present understanding of this prehistoric predator. Each time line features a map, portraits of important scientists with descriptions of their finds, and illustrations ranging from photos of skulls to computer-generated depictions of T. rex. A simple way of presenting a lot—and often overlapping pieces—of information, the bite-size facts and attention-getting illustrations make this book great for browsing and reluctant readers. A glossary, index, and additional resources will aid readers in making their own T. rex discoveries. - Copyright 2015 Booklist. Loading...
