In the vain hope that he might one day return the favour:), let me 
second Chris in plugging his book - it's great stuff. I particularly 
enjoyed the bit about naked mole-rats evolving to take over the world. 
The chapter on dinosaur physiology is thoroughly reasonable, with a 
balanced view from both sides of the argument (and not, as is more 
usual for biologists, a strictly Rubenesque view of the arguments).
