Regarding Louie Psihoyos' _Hunting Dinosaurs_. I think it's an excellent book.
It's nice to see the social aspects of dinosaur paleontology, and also get
to know the people involved in the research. Apart from the piece with Bakker
and Cope's skull, which is ridiculous, the rest of the book is fine. Great
reading! So much so, that one night I read until about 2 AM (I rarely read
late at night, only if I have to for a class). This says something about the
quality of the book...
