Dinosaur Imagery

[MKIRKALDY@aol.com]

I would like to add a further recommendation for the beautiful book _Dinosaur 
Imagery:  The Science of Lost Worlds and Jurassic Art_  (ISBN:  0124365906).  
Academic Press is to be commended for presenting these images from John 
Lanzendorf's private collection to an extremely receptive public.  This unique 
collection is a testament to the dynamic beauty of paleo art and sculpture 
which has allied the dinosaurs of the past with admirers in the present.  

The high quality photos of the paintings and sculptures are accompanied by 
substantial commentary on the subject matter either by the artists or by 
experts on the particular species.  Much more than a coffee table book, it can 
also be used as a reference book, with the works of the finest paleo artists 
illustrating the science.  The groupings and progression make a visual 
statement as to why John Lanzendorf continues to acquire these images and 
Academic Press and the Field Museum of Natural History are successfully 
displaying the collection.

Dinosaur Imagery also includes contact information (e-mail/web page addresses) 
for many of the artists and scientists who contributed to the variety and theme 
of the book, thus linking scientific imagination with the interactive cyber 
world.
