answer dinosaur questions for the readers of ZoomDinosaurs.com
:



My 13 year-old daughter is very interested in dinosaurs. Her favorite book is Bakker's The Dinosaur Heresies (she reads at a high level for her age). I mean no disrespect to Bakker, but I would like to get her used to the ideas of other paleontologists as well. I think it will benefit her to have experience with differing views so that she can learn to weigh them each based on their merits, and develop her own theories and ideas based on facts and observation. Can you suggest some other books that are written on a similar level? I would like to get her a variety of views on dinosaurs and how they lived, but I don't want to get her books that she will dismiss as being too simplistic or be unable to comprehend.
Thank you for your time.

from Jeff K., age 35, Baltimore, MD, USA; July 16, 2001

TOM: Other good dinosaur books written at a similar level, each a collection of chapters written by different authors, are:

Farlow, J.O. & M.K. Brett-Surman (editors). 1997. The Complete Dinosaur. Indiana University Press.

Paul, G.S. (editor). 2000. The Scientific American Book of Dinosaurs. St. Martin's Press.
