Paleoart fun!
Another fun-filled treatment of dinosaur travel adventures, and dinosaurs in art, with emphasis on prehistoric animals in popular culture!Absolutely loved it!

excellent!
i thought this book was amazing. its incredibly interesting, and its hard to put it down once youve started. it shows so much about the dinosaurs and i learned so much since i read it. im in high school, and i never really had much of an interest in paleontology. but when i read this it made me look at it an entirely different way, and im so glad i took the time to read it. excellent work!

Great new paleo-book!
I very much enjoyed Dinosaur Memories, which while reading, conjured many fond recollections about my youthful years of learning about paleontology - a science which isn't only about dinosaurs - as noted by the authors.Also, I found their discussions about prehistoric mammals and fantasy dinosaurs of science fiction literature enlightening.That chapter about dinosaur toy collectors & figure collecting is a scream!I've been down many of those same roads that Debus & Debus have been but still found their personal insights & anecdotes most refreshing.Kudos!

Good general guidelines, not much specific info
I had hoped to use this book to draw up a specific fitness plan but found it too be rather general in its advice.Still, it was inspiring to read about other people's travels and encouraging to know that other other people like to adventure too.

Elderhiker Delivers
Elderhiker is the kind of book that 1) you may want to read when you find yourself getting a little long in the tooth, 2) you might well recommend to older folks planning to sign up for one of Bodington's walks, 3) you may want to recommend to anyone who likes hiking, and 4) makes a great gift to any "outdoorsy" person.Nice job! ...
