Great new paleo-book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dinosaur Memories: Dino-trekking for Beasts of Thunder, Fantastic Saurians, 'Paleo-people,' 'Dinosaurabilia,' and other 'Prehistoria' (Paperback)
I very much enjoyed Dinosaur Memories, which while reading, conjured many fond recollections about my youthful years of learning about paleontology - a science which isn't only about dinosaurs - as noted by the authors. Also, I found their discussions about prehistoric mammals and fantasy dinosaurs of science fiction literature enlightening. That chapter about dinosaur toy collectors & figure collecting is a scream! I've been down many of those same roads that Debus & Debus have been but still found their personal insights & anecdotes most refreshing. Kudos!
