We live in a golden age of dinosaur discoveries, which is a wonderful time to be a dinosaur enthusiast.
In 2014, at least 14 dinosaurs made the news (http://iknowdino.com/2014-dinosaur-discoveries). They were a mix of newly described and published species, as well as new studies of species paleontologists had known existed for years but had known virtually nothing about.
Although we may never know exactly how dinosaurs lived and behaved, it's fun to dream up scenes of dinosaurs eating, fighting, and playing. And so, as a dinosaur enthusiast, inspired by dinosaur fiction such as Raptor Red by Dr. Robert T. Bakker and scenes in Dr. Anthony J. Martin's Dinosaurs Without Bones, I wrote Top 10 Dinosaurs of 2014.
The book is a mix of imagination and research, combining fictitious scenes of 10 of the dinosaurs that made headlines in 2014 with a list of facts about each one to help paint a broader picture. And, if you are interested in learning more about the dinosaurs in this book, check out the I Know Dino podcast (http://iknowdino.com).
Please enjoy.
