""Mesozoic Birds" is the first book to bring together world-renowned specialists on fossil birds and their importance to avian origins and, more importantly, it stresses a unified approach (cladistics) and presents the most anatomically detailed analyses available to date. No other study or collection of studies has ever done so much. How could the project not be welcomed by its audience of paleontologists, ornithologists, and evolutionary biologists!"--David Weishampel, editor of "The Dinosauria" "This is the first comprehensive volume dedicated to the relationships and evolution of the birds that lived during the Age of Dinosaurs.
