Upcoming New Dinosaur Book

["Steve Brusatte" <dinoland@lycos.com>]

Hey all,
I just wanted to pass along a brief announcement that Allen Debus' new book 
Dinosaur Memories is about to be published by iuniverse.com.  A description of 
the book can be found at:
http://www.iuniverse.com/bookstore/book_detail.asp?isbn=0%2D595%2D22988%2D3

This volume is basically a compilation of many of Allen's unique essays, which 
have appeared in various publications (Fossil News, Prehistoric Times, Dinosaur 
World, etc.) over the years.  Many of these essays deal with dinosaur art, 
especially the history of the genre.  Various essays also focus on different 
dinosaur and fossil destinations, "paleo people," and Allen's unique 
experiences in the field of dinosaurology.  

Allen's first book, Paleoimagery: The Evolution of Dinosaurs in Art, was 
originally slated for release by McFarland (the publisher of Glut's 
encyclopedias) in May, but it has been pushed back a few months.  This book has 
already been mentioned onlist, and I will try to remember to let you all know 
when it is finally published.

On another book note, I've recently begun (and nearly finished) Gaining Ground, 
the latest title in Jim Farlow's excellent IU Press series.  This is probably 
my favorite book in the series thus far.  Jenny Clack does a real nice job of 
explaining the "fish"-tetrapod transition, and her descriptions of various 
early tetrapod groups (temnospondyls, anthracosaurs, etc.) are very interesting 
and informative.  It is most definitely the benchmark semi-technical popular 
work on early tetrapods!

Steve
