I think I learned more about what paleontologists actually do and how they think, than I did about dinosaurs from reading this book.

I picked this book up from the local library, and read this book two chapters a day. Each chapter stands alone in itself, and therefore the book can be read in any order you choose.
The descriptions of the hunts, followed by detailed behavioral explanations, with drawings to explain the anatomical differences between species is fascinating.

For me, once again, it did the service of helping me understand our fellow creatures, and marveling at the wonderful diversity that surrounds us. While I show more cannot travel into these places to see the animals, at least when I see them in zoos, I shall look at them with more care, wonder and respect.

This book does a great service to normal people like me who want to learn more about the world we live in. show less

A wonderful primer, especially on the non-dinosaur denizens of the air and sea between the permian and KT extinctions.

A very good guide to creationism and its mistakes. Presents the case for evolution clearly and thoroughly.
