for the show, I seriously enjoyed it. I don't know about any of you, but
seeing the photo plate with the mounted Spinosaurus sent chills down my
spine. Fantastic.... yet tragic all at the same time. Drama rulz. The show
is for sale on DVD and on VHS.
Certainly agreed. It's a real easy read...and sort of reads like a mystery
novel. It does a nice job of comparing and contrasting the quite similar
expeditions of Stromer and Josh and his UPenn team. The book is similar to
Novacek and Horner's books, with science thrown in with a lot of adventure.
I reviewed this book, and for those interested, check out

I've yet to see the TV documentary, but I'm sure it will be excellent as
well.
Congratulations to Josh and his team!
Steve
