(4) YA Dinosaur Library series. Illustrated by Michael William Skrepnick & Michael William Skrepnick. A brief introduction to paleontology precedes chapters describing specific expeditions, from the rivalry between dinosaur hunters in nineteenth-century Wyoming to recent quests in Africa and Patagonia. One of the coauthors, present during the latter dig, contributes an account of his experience. Although the book is informative, the writing is a bit bland, and the black-and-white photos aren't well reproduced. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
