Autorenporträt
David Hone is rapidly becoming the 'face' of dinosaur research. Based at QMW in London, where he is Lecturer in Ecology, he has published more than 50 academic papers on dinosaur biology and behaviour, with a particular interest in the tyrannosaurs, while his fieldwork has included a spell working on the famous feathered dinosaur deposits of China. He writes a regular blog for the Guardian, Lost Worlds , a major source of dino-info for the general public. David includes among his writing credits the BBC's Walking with Dinosaurs. He has appeared on the Discovery Channel, BBC Radio 5Live and RTE, acted as consultant for National Geographic documentaries, and written articles for New Scientist, The Times, The Independent, The Telegraph, The New York Times, and many others.
Rezensionen
Dave Hone and Mark Witton bring dinosaurs to life. Blending rigorous science with accessible ideas they put more than flesh on fossilised bones, they animate these ancient creatures, extrapolate behaviour, give them character and personality. And here they use all the evidence to reshape some of paleontologies most enigmatic yet mysterious animals - the bizarre big-finned , curly clawed spinosaurs. After years of lost specimens, dodgy deals and ferocious scientific debate Dave and Mark bravely confront the controversies and introduce us to what we know and what it means. Its a joyous journey from the past to the present as these magnificent species rise from the pages to inhabit our prehistoric dreams!
