<p>African dinosaurs make a significant contribution to palaeontology,<br>but they are often omitted from books in favour of better-known<br>species like T. Rex. But their fossils have been discovered across the<br>continent – from the Sahara Desert and the dusty plains of Kenya<br>and Tanzania to the sandstone flats of the Karoo – and they are no<br>less magnificent or fascinating than their 'celebrity' cousins.<br>Famous Dinosaurs of Africa is written for children, but has broad<br>appeal for anyone interested in learning more about dinosaurs. A<br>brief general introduction is followed by short chapters on dinosaur<br>species, among them those that were fish-eating, sociable, predatory,<br>etc, as well as those that were cannibals, and the biggest meat-eating<br>dinosaur of all time – the thread being that they all come from<br>Africa. Details are given about where they were found, the meaning<br>of their scientific names, and their size and diet. Spectacular,<br>colourful illustrations bring the creatures vividly to life; photographs,<br>maps and line drawings further illustrate the subject, while<br>'Unsolved' and 'Up close' panels add to the intrigue.</p>
