The Dinosaur Heresies: New Theories Unlocking the Mystery of the Dinosaurs and Their Extinction store by Robert T. Bakker (Morrow)- First Edition
The Dinosaur Heresies: New Theories Unlocking the Mystery of the Dinosaurs and Their Extinction by Robert T. Bakker (Morrow 1986) stated First Edition.
Proposes 'heretical' theories advancing that dinosaurs, unlike lizards and reptiles, were warm-blooded, agile, and adaptable animals, similar to modern birds. Though controversial upon publication (as the title announces), much of The Dinosaur Heresies has since been accepted. Most importantly, Bakker was a technical advisor on Jurassic Park. We have him to thank for Spielberg's iconic, hell-raising, now scientifically-repudiated T-REX.
