Cataloguing only a portion of Lanzendorf's holdings, Dinosaur Imagery joins works by painters, animators, and sculptors such as John Gurche, Donna Braginetz, and Gary Staab with extended captions by paleontologists such as Michael Brett-Surman (Smithsonian Institution) and Mark Norell (American Museum of Natural History). The works of art range from the rigorously representational to the occasionally playful (but, fortunately, seldom kitschy), and there are some wonderful finds among them. The texts are revealing; it will come as news to many readers that the ancestor of the aforementioned T. rex may well have sported feathers (its posture, recent anatomical studies suggest, also resembled that of a chicken), that theropods hunted in packs, that sauropods travelled in herds, and that "the extinction of dinosaurs, although scientific dogma for decades, is now recognised as taxonomic illusion".
This well-made book is manna for fans of dinosaurs, and an ideal gift for budding paleontologists. --Gregory McNamee
