To my knowledge, they are all the same book.  Benton, Kurochkin, Shishkin &
Unwin are the editors, and it is coming out from Cambridge Univ. Press.
I've reviewed a paper or two from it: it promises to be a very intersting
book: theropods by Currie, the ornithopod and marginocephalian papers
mentioned above, a parieasaurian paper by Lee, at least one Mesozoic bird
paper, and almost certainly a pterosaur paper or two.  Should be very
impressive.
