Book recommendations

[Turkeysaurus]

I love the Gertie-style Anatosaurus. Do you know the Love In The Time of Chasmosaurs blog? George Solonevich is a big favourite there.

Yes, i love George Solonevich's style. I have 1993 Turkish version of that book from my childhood. Recently i have found 2nd hand English version from older print (1971) His style almost make them look 3D , incredible artist for sure. Also there is great charm of retrosaurs.

This is going to be a question. I am looking for a good introduction into paleobotany, ideally a book with rich paleoart style illustrations and suitable as a starter and entry point into the field.

Try "The Emerald Planet: How Plants Changed Earth's History" by David Beerling but if you want something more detailed, "Paleobotany: The Biology and Evolution of Fossil Plants" by Thomas and Edith Taylor

Super excited for this one!

Someone may have already mentioned it but I want to strongly recommend Mark Witton's Art and Science of the Crystal Palace Dinosaurs: https://www.amazon.com/Art-Science-Crystal-Palace-Dinosaurs/dp/071984049X/

Thorough and fascinating.

I highly recommend

Cat Bohannon: "Eve: How The Female Body Drove 200 Million Years Of Human Evolution"

It is really worthwhile to do some research on this one.
It is obviously the result of long, thorough work and has the potential to revolutionise our understanding of human life. I read both this book and my own one again (with the purpose of evaluation) in my now ending holiday and I must say, I almost sank in the ground with shame. But that´s probably because I proudly play district league, while she is a world class writer

This book caught my eye earlier this year and I made sure to buy a copy even though I already have a reading list a mile long. Glad to know it's worth a read, and this recommendation could move it up a few places on my list.

Just received this: https://www.cidermillpress.com/products/prehistoric-world-1-200-incredible-mammals-discoveries-from-the-mesozoic

Lots of pretty pictures and basic reference information on both Mesozoic and Cenozoic mammals. Like the dinosaur version from a couple of years ago, it's hefty!
