The Tyrannosaur Chronicles is a comprehensive account of the largest and most famous dinosaurs to walk the earth, the Tyrannosaurus Rex. David Hone takes you on a journey dating back several million years to an era when these mystical creatures presumably lived. The book is accompanied by evidences and calculated assumptions. It doesn’t totally dispel all the images you might have after watching Jurassic Park, but provides thorough explanations as to what the real deal was. The book presents published scientific studies to present an exhaustive and highly informative overview beginning from where dinosaurs came from, evolutionary characteristics, metabolism, morphology, anatomy, ecology and physiology. This book is a good read for dinosaur enthusiasts. Divided into four parts: Introduction, Morphology, Ecology and Future perspectives, the book begins with a general introduction to dinosaurs, how they came into being, their common characteristics and the various types of species known so far. The succeeding chapters then discuss the major events that lead to the evolution of T. Rex, their ancestors and the evidences pointing towards these assumptions.
