Dinosaurs are such a part of the cultural mainstream that most people, I would imagine, don't even realize how speculative our depictions of even "well known" varieties are. I had some inkling: as a kid, I lost interest in studying dinosaurs when the news came out that Brontosaurus was being renamed Apatasaurus (going off memory, but I think that's the phonetic name, if not exactly the spelling) because the all-knowing scientists I idolized had put the wrong skull on the Brontosaurus skeleton. As a WAY too serious kid determined to know what was "real" and what wasn't, I reasoned that if we couldn't even be sure that one of the most famous dinos was "real", then it was possible nearly everything I knew about dinos might turn out to be bunk one day.If my defeatist reaction was juvenile my skepticism was richly warranted, as this book illustrates in a thought-provoking and often hilarious way. It provides alternative reconstructions of extinct creatures--many but not all being dinosaurs--that are at least as plausible as the stereotypical portrayals of muscular lizards trying to chomp, or avoid being chomped, that we're all familiar with.In many cases the depictions are actually much more plausible, which was my favorite feature of the book. Dinos are good for business, and Dinos!...in ACTION! are better yet, to the point that it's difficult to imagine them rolling happily in the mud like a pig, or without colorful scales and menacing claws, because nearly all depictions of them focus on the flamboyant, the bizarre, and of course, the ACTION!, no matter how speculative. But they were animals, and so surely they looked and behaved more like animals today than we usually imagine they did.Or maybe not. But again, the alternative depictions in this book are at least as plausible and usually more so; and the text gives solidly scientific justifications without getting too dense or detailed. Equally enjoyable was the second part of the book, illustrations how modern animals might be reconstructed by paleontologists far in the future, based upon the parts of the animals' bodies likely to be be preserved and potentially dug up as fossils. It's funny and a bit unsettling, and I'll say no more to avoid spoiling anything.I really enjoyed this book, which is part of why I gave it four and not five stars: even at the reasonable price of $8-10, I want a book to have more than 30 or 40 minutes material in it. Yes, I understand that the illustrations are the focus but I wanted to see more of those, even if it meant not all could be as well done artistically, or that some had to have abbreviated text accompanying them. Other people, perhaps, will find the amount of material satisfactory, but like the carnivorous dinos depicted in most pictures, books, movies, etc., all I do is consume and I'm never satisfied...
I got this for my dinosaur-loving roommate. I read it and love it so much I want a copy for my library too.It's alternate views of the soft tissue and behaviors that point out the traditional ways we've depicted dinosaurs are just traditional and not necessarily accurate. Then it ends with current-animals reconstructed by a hypothetical future scientist after we're all extinct, showing the types of errors that are probably common in our dino-reconstructions applied to animals we know.Good pictures, interesting text explaining the limitations of current science in how these & more-traditional-dino-art are based on facts but also, by necessity, contain some educated-guesswork.
This book gives a brief overview of the history of dinosaur reconstruction in art, pointing out early mistakes, tired cliches, and the importance of being aware that there is still so much we don't know.It also brings up a good point (at least I wasn't the only one who noticed): "Palaeoart" already is the term for art created in prehistoric times; the creation of prehistoric scenes should note properly be termed "palaeography".My only negative criticism would be that this book is too short and could use more illustrations. However, one runs into copyright problems that way, so it's understandable.
I got this book for myself as an adult who still has a passing interest in dinosaurs. The illustrations are very well done and the explanations really make you think about how paleontology has changed over the years. I think it can be appreciated by people of all ages, although heads up if you're going to give this to a younger kid, there's a section in it that discusses (and illustrates) dinosaur reproduction so if they haven't thought about that process much you might end up needing to answer questions. I also noticed the book had a few typos (in normal words, not the scientific parts as far as I could tell) but it doesn't detract from the readability.
A thoughtful book that puts the meat on the bones of dinosaurs. There are myriad beautiful and sometimes whimsical, or even amusing, paintings and drawings of dinosaurs going about their daily life... a life that includes much more than chasing prey or being chased. The last segment of the book explores how contemporary creatures might be reconstructed if aliens from the future tackled them with all the same tools and information we have as we reconstruct dinosaurs. Overall, a very charming, beautiful, interesting little book.Other than wishing it were longer, I only have one real qualm with this book- many of the wonderful illustrations bridge across the whole spread, and since the book is perfect bound, that means a lot of detail and information is lost in the binding. I almost wish the book was coil bound so it would lay flat, because now I'm torn between protecting the spine and trying not to let it bother me, or crushing each spread flat to see the art but ultimately more or less destroying the book.
