Charles Hazelius Sternberg

Sternberg's true life story of dinosaur discovery, professional rivalry, and wild west adventure during the gilded age is highly entertaining.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Bakker is undoubtedly the controversial and exciting dinosaurologist of the day. His ideas of active, behaviorly complex, warm-blooded dinosaurs have shaken orthodox views and stimulated both public interest and renewed scientific research. In this book he reviews many of his well-known ideas about dinosaur physiology, feeding habits, running ability, taxonomy, and extinction, and offers tidbits on more minor details, e.g., whether dinosaurs had a gizzard. He writes in a colorful, even impassioned prose more akin to political rhetoric than analytic science. While this book lacks the breadth and balanced objectivity of David Norman's excellent The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs (Crescent Bks., 1985), it is nevertheless important and revolutionary. Highly recommended. Walter P. Coombs, Jr., Biology Dept., Western New England Coll., Springfield, Mass.

As palentoligical discovers go , you can't go past Robert T Bakker.This book is actually a seris of articles written by Bakker to convince his fellow Palentologists that there is a new dynamic out there.
Today , we accept the Jurrasic Park veiw of warm blooded active, intelligent dinosaurs , but it wasn't always the case & challenging decades old theories was an uphill battle.
This book though a bit heavier than his other books provides the solid evidence , presented in a way that started to change the dogma that had held for centuries.
The title The Dinosaur Heresies gives you a clue as to how radical this new veiwpoint actually was.
