New edition of Feduccia's book

[Jeff Hecht <jhecht@world.std.com>]

I just received a review copy of the 2nd edition of Alan Feduccia's "The
Origin and Evolution of Birds," a 466-page trade paperback selling for
$29.95. The official publication date is September 20.

The most obvious changes are a new cover painting of a pair of
Confuciusornis by H. Douglas Pratt and a new 33-page chapter "T Rex was no
four-ton roadrunner and other revelations." As you might expect, he remains
unconvinced birds evolved from dinosaurs.
