The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs: A New History of Their Lost World by Steve Brusatte

adventurous challenging informative medium-paced

4.5

This book takes readers from the time before dinosaurs emerged, through their emergence, the times they were the dominant animals, and through their extinction (per the author, they mostly became extinct. He, and some others, believe there is a type of dinosaur alive today). He talks about the people who made important discoveries related to dinosaurs throughout the years and what led them to the field. The book has some elements of a memoir. The author talks about the path that led him to become a paleontologist. When he described some likely scenarios the dinosaurs lived, and died, through, I could picture them. I enjoyed the book. It was well written and imformative.
