   Also, since I haven't seen it mentioned here yet, Curry Rogers & 
Wilson's book _The Sauropods_ is now out (I've actually had my copy for a 
little under a month, though I just started poring through it).  See 
http://www.ucpress.edu/books/pages/9840.html.  I haven't entered its 
chapters into my db yet, and the book's at home, so I can't list it for ya 
here, but it's got some good stuff in it, including an absolutely fabulous 
chapter by Matt Wedel on sauropod pneumaticity and mass estimates, a chapter 
by Stevens & Parrish on the whole "how to hold a sauropod neck" thing, and 
(drum roll, please) a cranial skeletal reconstruction of _Nigersaurus_. 
Darn thing looks like a freakin' nodosaur from the side!
