摘要

Dinosaurs have been used extensively to promote science teaching in US universities, in particular, and have spawned a range and variety of course textbooks. These are intentionally self-contained, and aimed specifically at first year ‘non-science majors’; that is to say those undergraduates who are intending to pursue liberal-arts courses in the main, but want to experience a bit of non-threatening science along the way.
