5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best books ever on paleontology,
By
This review is from: The hot-blooded dinosaurs: A revolution in palaeontology (Hardcover)
I got this book when I was about 10 years old. My parents were afraid that it might be too cerebral for me, but instead I found it exciting, very detailed and full of stuff I had no idea about. Adrian J Desmond tells the story of dinosaur discoveries and the development of the science of paleontology with great flair. He's a very good storyteller and goes into the rivalry and drama so often played out among the pioneers of this field. The book also contains an excellent selection of images from older publications, some of them showing the first attempts to reconstruct prehistoric animals. I highly recommend this book for anyone even slightly interested in the history of "dinosaur science". It's an intelligent and comprehensive read.
