Terrible lizards. That’s what the word dinosaurs means. Yet dinosaurs are not true lizards, and they are not necessarily terrible, either. Paleontologists have overturned many misconceptions, and in Dinosaurs!, we look at what the latest research tells us and what we still have to learn about these endlessly fascinating creatures.

This book was easy to listen to and understand. It's not overly technical. It would be a good book for a child interested in dinosaurs or a non scientist adult like myself. It is obvious that it was carefully written for the public. Thank you to the people who put in the effort on this fine piece of educational material.

Very interesting for the non scientist.

I enjoyed the book as I have enjoyed a renewed interest in the study of dinosaurs. As with so many things in science, the knowledge has only grown since I was a kid in those kid days interest of the subject. I enjoyed hearing this update of the new things known and the new supposition of how dinosaurs lived. The reader was very good and I liked her voice, like a teacher again!

A very interesting book, if you like dinosaurs.

Informational

The "chapters" are composed of articles from Scientific American all about an aspect of dinosaur research. This presentation kept the "story" moving along in a bright spirited fashion, allowing for different voices, different topics, different problems and different endings to each topic. Because I became newly interested in each story it prevented me from feeling "bogged down" and "mired" in the complexity of what is a very complex science.
The narrator was excellent. She did not struggle in pronouncing long scientific names or words where necessary, but kept the pace of the conversation going so I could continue to follow the gist of the story or return to listen more carefully to the scientific names of species or procedures as I wished.
I was sorry when I came to the end of the book. But I'm happy to say that, because the chapters are the titles of the articles themselves, it will be easy for me to return and just select the article which I wish to re-read and start listening.
I recommend the book to anyone who is interested in current knowledge about dinosaurs.
I would also recommend it for anyone who has always wondered how research is done on things that have been dead for millions of years.

complex subject made understandable.
