Reviews
Benton's prose is a model of science writing--energetic without being hyperactive, illustrative without loosing a swarm of irritating metaphors, alive to the reader's curiosity without pandering to the reader's ignorance., ""I defy anyone who is, like me, a non-scientist to read it and not feel a sense of wonder." --Tom Holland, The Guardian", This engaging book by one of the field's most prominent paleontologists is as much about the evolution of dinosaur paleobiology as the evolution of dinosaurs themselves. Highly recommended for enthusiasts of these areas., A highly valuable resource for anyone with a serious interest in dinosaurs and an enjoyable read... The book is fertile ground for students and experts interested in paleontology., In Dinosaurs Rediscovered, Michael J. Benton, a professor at the University of Bristol, takes us through what he calls a 'scientific revolution' in his field of paleontology. It is a fascinating story, and Mr. Benton tells it both expertly and entertainingly. . . . Mr. Benton's deeply engaging book instructively shows us, yet again, how advances in technology have converted mere speculation into testable science., ""In Dinosaurs Rediscovered, Michael J.

Synopsis
In this fascinating andaccessible overview,renowned paleontologistMichael J. Benton revealshow our understandingof dinosaurs is beingtransformed byrecent fossil finds andnew technology., Over the past twenty years, the study of dinosaurs has transformed into a true scientific discipline. New technologies have revealed secrets locked in prehistoric bones that no one could have previously predicted. We can now work out the color of dinosaurs, the force of their bite, their top speeds, and even how they cared for their young. Remarkable new fossil discoveries--giant sauropod dinosaur skeletons in Patagonia, dinosaurs with feathers in China, and a tiny dinosaur tail in Burmese amber--remain the lifeblood of modern paleobiology. Thanks to advances in technologies and methods, however, there has been a recent revolution in the scope of new information gleaned from such fossil finds. In Dinosaurs Rediscovered , leading paleontologist Michael J. Benton gathers together all of the latest paleontological evidence, tracing the transformation of dinosaur study from its roots in antiquated natural history to an indisputably scientific field. Among other things, this book explores how dinosaur remains are found and excavated, and how paleontologists read the details of dinosaurs' lives from their fossils--their colors, their growth, and even whether we will ever be able to bring them back to life. Benton's account shows that, though extinct, dinosaurs are still very much a part of our world., Over the past twenty years, the study of dinosaurs has transformed into a true scientific discipline.

Benton's account shows that, though extinct, dinosaurs are still very much a part of our world., Giant sauropod dinosaur skeletons from Patagonia; dinosaurs with feathers from China; a tiny dinosaur tail suspended in Burmese amber... Remarkable new fossil finds may be the lifeblood of paleontology, but it is advances in technologies and methods that have fostered the revolution in the field. Though they haven't roamed the planet for millions of years, dinosaurs are still very much a part of our world. Michael J. Benton takes us behind the scenes on expeditions and in museum laboratories to trace the transformation of dinosaur study from its roots in natural history to the scientific discipline it is today. New technologies have revealed secrets locked in the bones in a way nobody predicted-we can now work out the color of dinosaurs, their growth, feeding and locomotion, how they grew from egg to adult, how they sensed the world, and even whether we will ever be able to bring them back to life.
