This is the book that fueled the "Jurassic Park" phenomenon. Fascinating stuff.

Bakker is undoubtedly the controversial and exciting dinosaurologist of the day. His ideas of active, behaviorly complex, warm-blooded dinosaurs have shaken orthodox views and stimulated both public interest and renewed scientific research. In this book he reviews many of his well-known ideas about dinosaur physiology, feeding habits, running ability, taxonomy, and extinction, and offers tidbits on more minor details, e.g., whether dinosaurs had a gizzard. He writes in a colorful, even impassioned prose more akin to political rhetoric than analytic science. This book is revolutionary.

A great book on the subject dinosaur evolution, extinction. Really well written and covers a whole lot of the questions of what they ate and how they lived. Bakker also develops his proofs of warm bloodedness. Well written and fun to read.

Yes, but it's been 30 years now, it shouldn't startle you.
