About this listen

Dinosaurs have been a source of fascination ever since their discovery in England early in the 19th century. Before their extinction, dinosaurs dominated Earth's terrestrial habitats for about 160 million years, far longer than primates. Dinosaurs present the ultimate puzzle in forensic science, but we have learned a great deal about them in the last 50 years. This lecture series will explain the evolutionary and ecological relationships among dinosaurs, what it might have been like to be present in the Mesozoic Era, and the question of what ultimately brought about the total extinction of all dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous Period. Although extinct, dinosaurs have never been more a focus of science than they are today.©2007 John Kricher (P)2007 Recorded Books, LLC Ancient

Mighty Good

Any additional comments?

An enjoyable and informative series of simple lectures on palaeontology, these are not too taxing on the brain. The information is easily absorbed. As it is an American lecturer this is biased toward American history. The half hour length of each chapter is perfect to allow dipping in and out, I completed in four listens.

Excellent!

This is an extremely interesting set of 16 30 minutes lectures about dinosaurs
that recently has become available for download at www.audible.com.
A lecturer practically brings dinosaurs to life in all their glory and ore.
He is not only an insider in paleonthological research but also a great storyteller and the course is full not only with descriptions of different dinosaurs species but also with stories about people that discovered and reconstructed dinosaurs and with many amazing topics like evolving of life on earth, evolution of dinosaurs, dinosaurs in pop culture, birds as modern dinosaurs, warm blooded dinosaurs, Bone Wars and of course disappearance of dinosaurs. The story of Bone Wars alone which I never heard about before makes the course worth listening.
I did not have great expectations from these lectures but I ended up enjoying every minute of listening.

behold the mighty dinosaur

If you want to learn about dinosaurs and their origins as well as the origins and development of our understanding of them then this is the series of lectures to listen to. John Kricher takes a delight in his subject that I have rarely heard before and takes you along with him all the way.

Much enthusiasm here

All very interesting and lectures cheerfully delivered. Lecturer bit inclined to say "and we'll be getting to that later" every few minutes. Why bother? But its a good listen.

Excellent, over before I knew it

Great, the passion of the lecturer shines through. I was surprised it ended, I could have listened on another ten hours, but what is there is excellent and I will certainly go back and relisten
