My Review on The Secret Lives of Dinosaurs (10/10)!
This new book by @deanrlomax.bsky.social and @bobnichollsart.bsky.social presents stunning fossils of deep time with their secrets revealed!
I highly recommend it to any enthusiast of prehistoric animals and paleontological discoveries.

Thank you, Annik. That's certainly appreciated 😊

Just finished the excellent secret lives of dinosaurs by @deanrlomax.bsky.social marvellously illustrated by @bobnichollsart.bsky.social

I read a sub chapter or two every night in the hopes of escaping some of the political news and have more interesting dreams. Highly recommend ☺️

Thanks for your kind words, Annik. Really glad you've enjoyed reading the book! We definitely put our all into making it something very different in the palaeo book world. If you could leave a review on Amazon, Goodreads etc, we'd appreciate that too. Thank you!

#StevesReviews: Why Dinosaurs? If there is something that I hate about growing up, it is that people stop asking you what your favourite dinosaur is. Despite this, most of us still have one. For me, it is Tyrannosaurus rex. Thos…

Who doesn't love #dinosaurs? For this week's #SteveReviews, I look at #WhyDinosaurs which is now available to everyone on YouTube. Why not give my review a read, and then give this fantastic documentary a watch? #Fossils #Palaeontology @deanrlomax.bsky.social stevenallain.co.uk/Blog/stevesr...

I got it!

Great talk by @deanrlomax.bsky.social and @bobnichollsart.bsky.social at the @morethanadodo.bsky.social last night. Was a bit outfaced by the queue for signing but got to have a wander round and look at the wonderful collection.

Well, this is going to be fun.

review: sharply focused on fossils offering direct evidence of behavior such as predation/reproduction ... Lomax employs a nicely conversational tone ... enhanced by Bob Nicholls' artist renditions that bring the text’s stories to life

Many thanks for your kind words!
