I enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoy reading Wilson's non-scientific work. I appreciated that the final chapter makes the connection of the end of the dinosaurs that didn't fly to our own demise. Dinos couldn't do anything about the end for them. We not only could have changed it, but actively did it to ourselves.
We have the woods and bunker preppers and the Elon's taking me to Mars preppers. But the former take more than they should, yet obviously, not enough. The latter intend to smoke us all out so we won't miss them pointing and laughing at the stupid ones left behind. Too bad Elon couldn't do any better than the government did in 1960. So buy your scuba gear rich b's you're stuck here until Elon has another 50 years... Only if he can unload Twitter immediately. Maybe one of you evil oily companies could give up drilling long enough to save Elon. I think I'd rather get smoked out than have every future generation of me have to put up with his genetic experiments.
It's almost like all that money can't buy smarts or prove smarts... Ultimately, it's a badge of dismal failure. The rest of us just keep living without millions. You wouldn't last...

Muy interesante el libro. Es muy bueno a mi parecer. Te narra la historia desde que aparecieron los primeros animales en la Tierra hasta su evolución en los dinosaurios que conocemos. Expone y explica teorías y hechos del por qué de las cosas. Además de que mezcla la historia con anécdotas suyas y personajes. Hay algunos capítulos, o párrafos en específico que tiende a repetir cosas pero todo con el fin de hacer entendible la lectura!

Ce livre se lit tout seul, j'ai appris des tas de choses sur les dinosaures, maintenant je ne regarde plus les poules avec le même oeil...

As a complete ignorant on those details of decades and hundred millions years ago of our history, this book gave me knowledge and vision sometimes forgot in school and so necessary for us to feel ourselves part of this world.

This is a review from a reader who has purchased the hardcover, Kindle, and Audible editions of the book: the former for my bookshelf, the second for convenient reading, and the third just to complete the set since I had an Audible credit to burn at the time. Initially I bought Dr. Brusatte's book on a whim: it had occurred to me that paleontology had advanced by leaps and bounds since the nineties when I was actively learning about these prehistoric creatures. I thought, "Gee, it would be interesting to see how far it's all come since I was checking out books at the school library and playing '3D Dinosaur Adventure' on that crusty old PC." It certainly does a good job of catching one up on modern views of dinosaurs among paleontologists.
First off, if you're the type of person who expects books on scientific subjects to be a drag to read, have no fear in this case. Steve Brusatte is clearly writing with a mentality very close to what an effective teacher needs to keep students engaged, which is to say: be entertaining, present the information in a lively way, give the audience's enthusiasm room to effectively drive their learning forward. This is not a...
