The Book Page

Top shelf books on evolution.

• When Life Nearly Died: The Greatest Mass Extinction of All Time, Michael J. Benton, c. 2003. 
• Dinosaurs Rediscovered: The Scientific Revolution in Paleontology, Michael J. Benton, c. 2019.
• Gorgon: Paleontology, Obsession, and the Greatest Catastrophe in Earth's History, Peter D. Ward, c. 2004.
  

The book that probably started it all -- for me -- was The Mistaken Extinction: Dinosaur Evolution and the Origin of Birds, Lowell Dingus and Timothy Rowe, c. 1997, perhaps one of the best books I've ever read on this subject, and, it introduced me to the whole subject of "clades." 

Others:

• The Rise and Reign of the Mammals: A New History, From the Shadow of the Dinosaurs to US, Steve Brusatte, c. 2022.

• The Princeton Field Guide to Dinosaurs, Third Edition, Gregory S. Paul, c. April 16, 2024. [I have the second edition, 2016.]
