RE: The Dinosaur Debates (Was: Archaeopteryx flight)

["Paul Ruggeri" <paulrugg@home.com>]

Actually, it is still in print. (or back in print). I saw it on the shelves
at my local Borders books just last week.

This mention of the book that first reawoke my childhood love of
dinosaurs reminds me of something I meant to ask a while ago.  I know
that _The Dinosaur Heresies_ has went out of print some time ago, but
I noticed that _The Great Dinosaur Debate_ has appeared on amazon at
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0806522607/thedinosaurrea0a
catalogued under the _Heresies_ title and bearing an uncanny
resemblance to the book I know and love.

Can anyone tell me if this a rewrite, and upgrade or a mere
re-badging?  If the latter, what's the story behind the name change?

Thanks in advance,
