The rise and fall of the Dinosaurs by Steve Brussati


A Christmas gift from my brother. Very well received

A very readable book, I quite enjoyed

It was bittersweet to note that one of the leading paleontologists of the day is pretty American born Sino Celt. Ahh if only one had been more diligent

The Deccan traps hypothesis is put to bed. The Cretaceous era ends with the Chixlub  collision

A good discussion about how scales became feathers

A nice primer for adults on the evolution of the  Dinosaur's
