Yeah. You're completely right. Been outta the loop. I don't really watch tv. Last book i read on dinos was published in '86. Dinosaur Heresies. I read it in the mid 90s after I went to a lecture by the author (Bakker) in college. His adviser was the great paleontologist John Ostrum - and all Ostrum's finds were on exhibit at school. In the Deinonychus exhibit one of them is jumping out of the air with its claws in the air. It's suspended from the ceiling. One of the first paleontologists to show dinosaurs in fast action sequences rather than as lumbering slow giants. i used to sit in that room and study between classes. There was a stegosaurus and a bronto too. Can't remember what else. Really cool.
Any kick-ass up-to-date books?
