Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior

“Hone’s frankness is welcome in a post-Jurassic Park world, where misconceptions continue to capture the public’s imagination… . Vigilant and authoritative, Hone sounds the alarm on the at times impulsive and rash nature of paleontology.”—Aaron Tremper, Science News“This vivid look at the prehistoric past enthralls.” * Publishers Weekly *“Gripping in its conclusions, backed by rigorous science, compelling in its examination of the ways in which dinosaurs behaved, and the interactions of one species with another. A must read!”—David Gascoigne, Travels with Birds”[An] eye-opening book.”—Marc Bekoff, Psychology Today“What dinosaur enthusiast won’t enjoy learning interesting stuff about dinosaur nests and effs, bite strength, gargantuan reptile battles, and a variety of anatomic armaments?”—Tony Miksanek, Booklist“Hone sets a new agenda for paleontologists and paleozoologists to follow. That program rebalances the scales in researchers’ approach to studying ancient life, encouraging them to make comparative biological analyses based on the behavior of extant creatures, while urging caution in reaching definitive conclusions.”—Isaac Schultz, Gizmodo”[An] overview on dinosaur biology that is highlighted by Gabriel Ugueto’s artwork.”—Ian Paulsen, The Birdbooker Report“Thought-provoking, never shirking the hard questions, and yet admirably brief at 207 pages … Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior is a superb book that should be your go-to reference for a thoughtful appraisal of what we know about dinosaur behaviour.”—Leon Vlieger, The Inquisitive Biologist
