The Dinosaurs and their Mysterious Demise is a well written, layman accessible, information rich look at the natural history and disappearance of the dinosaurs by Dr. Andrew Norman. Released 16th Jan 2025 by Pen & Sword on their White Owl imprint, it's 224 pages and is available in hardcover and ebook formats.
This is an excellent and science based monograph full of interesting tidbits from natural history. It's well written and laid out
logically. Although it's written with
the layperson in mind, it's well annotated throughout. The chapter notes
will make for engaging further reading. It is,
admittedly, a niche book and will appeal especially to readers interested in biology, physiology, and paleontology. The
language is accessible and informal. The author has a gift at
distilling difficult and complex concepts into smaller digestible bits
and I can imagine he would be an engaging and worthwhile lecturer.
Five stars. It would be an excellent choice for public, secondary, or home library acquisition.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
