Terrible lizards. That’s what the word dinosaurs means. Yet dinosaurs are not true lizards, and they are not necessarily terrible, either. Paleontologists have overturned many misconceptions, and in Dinosaurs!, we look at what the latest research tells us and what we still have to learn about these endlessly fascinating creatures.

In this Very Short Introduction audiobook, David Norman discusses how dinosaurs were first discovered and interpreted and how our understanding of them has changed over the past 200 years. He looks at some of the amazing discoveries that have enabled us to gain new and unexpected insights into dinosaurs as animals with natural histories and behaviors and considers some of the biggest questions in dinosaur biology, such as the implications of them having warm blood.  

Garrett Andrews is two things: A god, and a person who knows how to get things done. And this time, he’ll have to put both things to the test because the new world he’ll visit is filled with dinosaurs with sharp teeth, vicious claws, and a taste for human flesh. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg because he also has to seed life on his home planet, combat a race of lizard people with incredible technology, and build a city with his bare hands. On the plus side, crafting a dungeon in the heart of a dying star is pretty damn fun.

Lydia Millet's exquisite new novel tells the story of an Arizona man’s relationship with the family next door, whose house has one wall made entirely out of glass.

Through close observation of human and animal life in the desert, she captures the daunting scale of human society without losing sight of the real difference one person can make in the world. Written with humor and benevolence, Dinosaurs asks big questions: Can a person be good? Can a man be good?
