Re: Paleontology education

Laura:

    For _Archaeopteryx_ and bird origins, I really liked Pat Shipman's
book - "Taking Wing  - _Archaeopteryx_ and The Evolution of Bird Flight".
As a hardback, it lists for $25.00.  It has good, general information, as
well as enough details to make you want more.  She writes a well-balanced
account of the 'difference of opinions' that permeate discussions of early
birds.  I expect that the trade paperback version should be available soon -
possibly by the end of the year.
