Re: Recent Books on Dinosaurs
#2If you have kids, I strongly recommend Abby Howard's graphic novels on dinosaurs and other prehistory (Dinosaur Empire, Ocean Renegades, and Mammal Takeover). [1]
They not only depict the current understanding of dinosaurs as feathered, complex creatures (rather than always showing raptors shrieking and attacking), but also dive into the science of paleontology, evolution, and ecological adaption. Plus the art is fantastic.
I cannot recommend them enough.
It's been super fun to see my 5 year old not only enjoy them, but also point out where older books on dinosaurs got stuff wrong.

#3The book by Michael Benton is intriguing. I remember when I was a kid reading a dinosaur encyclopedia he wrote that I really liked. He talked all about the connection between birds and dinosaurs in it. Really engaging writer.

Came to say the same. Abby Howard is a great cartoonist. Junior Scientist Power Hour is her (sadly now finished) journal comic.
One heck of a domain name too...

#5I just finished Steve Brusatte's 'The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs' yesterday and found it to be very engaging. As well as detailing it's namesake, it also introduces many of the tools and methodologies that are used by paleontologists to come to the conclusions about dinosaurs that are in the book.
It also has a great "Notes on sources" chapter at the end of the book that breaks down the authour's sources for each chapter in the book.
