Review:
"... The Cretaceous World is the book for you. OK, it is a textbook but it's how a textbook should be. To begin with it is actually a joy to look at: a happy marriage of Cambridge University Press's publishing know-how and the Open University's experience in producing lively, informative and well-structured texts for students that are also accessible to the general reaader...it's an outstanding bargain." New Scientist
