Wed, 30 Jan 2013 00:05:02 +0000 http://phenomena.nationalgeographic.com/?p=151426#comment-39386 The first edition of The Complete Dinosaur remains one of the best paleontology books ever published; even with all the discoveries over the last two decades, it is still relevant and accurate. I was saddened to see that most of the material was either discarded or truncated instead of re-edited. The new book isn’t terrible (I loved the contributions by Douglas Henderson, Bruce Tiffiney, R. H. Reid, and Greg Paul), but it does feel incomplete.

To hear that Ruben was given a chapter is…kind of disturbing. I’ll probably get it if I see it on sale sometime, but I see no immediate need.

Padian and Burton raised an interesting point, and you have brilliantly summarized it!
