What We Are Reading Today: ‘Dinosaur Facts and Figures’

Authors: Ruben Molina-Perez and Asier Larramendi

The sauropod dinosaurs roamed the planet for millions of years, with creatures ranging from the smallest of the sauropods, Magyarosaurus, to the huge Argentinosaurus.

This illustrated book is an essential compendium of sauropod facts and figures — from the biggest and the oldest to the smallest and the rarest.

It covers every known species and features more than 2,000 diagrams and technical drawings along with hundreds of full-color reconstructions of specimens.
