Review : Big babies

Sheer size is one of the most intriguing aspects of
dinosaurs—and has
helped their fossils to survive. We also need to consider the less obvious
remains, those of their young. In Dinosaur Eggs and Babies
(Cambridge University
Press, £16.95/$29.95, ISBN 0 521 56723 8), Kenneth Carpenter,
Karl
Hirsch and John Horner compile research on eggs, nests and young from
around the
world. One for the serious adult dinophile.
