My Beloved Brontosaurus
They loom over museum halls, thunder through movies, and are a fundamental part of our collective imagination. In My Beloved Brontosaurus, dinosaur fanatic Brian Switek enriches the childlike sense of wonder these amazing creatures instill in us. Investigating the latest discoveries in paleontology, he breathes new life into old bones. Switek reunites us with these mysterious creatures as he visits desolate excavation sites and hallowed museum vaults, exploring everything from the sex life of Apatosaurus and T. rex’s feather-laden body to just why dinosaurs vanished. Endearing, surprising, and essential to our understanding of our own evolution and our place on Earth, My Beloved Brontosaurus “passionately and playfully explores scientists’ evolving perception of the wild, wonderful dinosaur world” (Science).
