From Indiana University Press:

Forthcoming!
THUNDER-LIZARDS
The Sauropodomorph Dinosaurs

Edited by Virginia Tidwell and Kenneth Carpenter

The large quadrupedal herbivores known as sauropods roamed the planet from 
the Jurassic to the end of the Cretaceous. With the longest necks and tails 
of all of the dinosaurs, some sauropods were 40 meters in lenght and 
weighed upwards of 1000,000 kilograms. The popular image of these lumbering 
giants, placidly consuming ferns, has been greatly revised in recent years 
by new discoveries and new theories about behaviour and physiology. This 
book presents 21 new studies of the sauropods. The volume is organized into 
four parts. Part I looks at some sauropods old and new, Part II at juvenile 
and adult specimens and ontogenetic variation within species. Part III 
concerns morphology and biomechanics, while Part IV takes up issues of 
biogeography.

Life of the Past, July 2005; 352 pages, 80 b & w photos, 160 figs.
THULIC cloth $59.95.
