书籍简介

棘龙——包括史上较大的陆地掠食者、令人敬畏的棘龙在内的恐龙类群——是这篇前沿综述的主角。

背部长有帆状背鳍的巨型肉食恐龙棘龙是所有恐龙中著名的恐龙之一；它是纪录片、书籍和电子游戏中的常客，也是在《侏罗纪公园3》中击败强大的霸王龙的巨兽。但我们对这种鳄鱼头怪物及其近亲棘龙究竟了解多少呢？

棘龙是奇特的掠食性恐龙之一，它们拥有细长的低矮头骨和强劲有力的爪子。一些物种背部长有巨大的帆状背鳍，尾巴也呈鳍状。围绕着它们的科学谜团重重。它们的化石残骸非常零碎，外形特征的许多方面尚不明确，进化关系也难以捉摸，而关于它们的生态和行为的解释也存在激烈的争论。

《棘龙的故事》探索了激动人心、有时又充满争议的棘龙科学世界。世界知名的古生物学家大卫·霍恩和马克·P·威顿用精美的插图让这些生物重现生机，并呈现了关于这一神秘而又极具魅力的恐龙类群的演化、解剖结构和生活方式的新观点。

The spinosaurs – the dinosaur group that includes the largest land predator of all time, the awe-inspiring Spinosaurus – star in this cutting-edge review.

The giant sail-backed carnivorous dinosaur Spinosaurus is one of the most famous of all dinosaurs; a staple of documentaries, books and video games, and the beast that bested the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex in Jurassic Park III. But what do we actually know about this crocodile-headed monster and its relatives, the spinosaurs?

The spinosaurs were some of the strangest predatory dinosaurs, combining a long low skull with powerfully clawed hands. Some species had huge sails over their backs, as well as fin-like tails. A great deal of scientific mystery surrounds them. Their fossil remains are highly fragmentary, many aspects of their appearance uncertain, their evolutionary relationships elusive, and interpretations of their ecology and behaviour are hotly contested.

Spinosaur Tales explores the exciting, sometimes controversial world of spinosaur science. Bringing these creatures back to life with stunning illustrations, world-renowned palaeontologists David Hone and Mark P. Witton present the latest views on the evolution, anatomy and lifestyles of an enigmatic yet charismatic dinosaur group.

作者简介

大卫·霍恩正迅速成为恐龙研究领域的“领军人物”。他目前在伦敦的维多利亚女王大学（QMW）担任生态学讲师，已发表超过50篇关于恐龙生物学和行为学的学术论文，尤其关注霸王龙。他的野外考察经历包括在中国著名的带羽毛恐龙化石群进行研究。他定期为《卫报》撰写博客“失落的世界”（Lost Worlds），该博客是面向公众的重要恐龙信息来源。

大卫的编剧作品包括BBC的《与恐龙同行》（Walking with Dinosaurs）。他曾做客探索频道、BBC第五广播电台和爱尔兰国家广播电视台（RTE），担任国家地理纪录片的顾问，并为《新科学家》、《泰晤士报》、《独立报》、《每日电讯报》、《纽约时报》等众多媒体撰稿。

David Hone is rapidly becoming the 'face' of dinosaur research. Based at QMW in London, where he is Lecturer in Ecology, he has published more than 50 academic papers on dinosaur biology and behaviour, with a particular interest in the tyrannosaurs, while his fieldwork has included a spell working on the famous feathered dinosaur deposits of China. He writes a regular blog for the Guardian, Lost Worlds , a major source of dino-info for the general public.

David includes among his writing credits the BBC's Walking with Dinosaurs. He has appeared on the Discovery Channel, BBC Radio 5Live and RTE, acted as consultant for National Geographic documentaries, and written articles for New Scientist, The Times, The Independent, The Telegraph, The New York Times, and many others.
