“An enthralling read that brings long-dead creatures to life. In this bold, brave, and brilliant book, David Hone provides a fascinating and up-to-date exploration of what we know about how dinosaurs actually behaved.”—Chris Packham, naturalist and television presenter“Fascinating and incisive. This book isn’t just about what we know about dinosaur behavior, but importantly, how we know it. In that way, it’s not just a book about dinosaurs or even about animal behavior more broadly, it’s about how science works and how we can hope to answer difficult questions even when the answers seem lost in time.”—Alice Roberts, author of Crypt: Life, Death, and Disease in the Middle Ages and Beyond“If you want to know what dinosaurs were like as real living, breathing animals, then read this book. David Hone, a leading researcher on dinosaur biology, is an expert guide to the ways that dinosaurs moved, fed, grew, reproduced, and socialized. Authoritative and readable, Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior is both a great piece of scholarship and popular science writing.”—Steve Brusatte, New York Times bestselling author of The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs“Drawing on hundreds of studies of animal ethology and comparing these with the often capricious evidence available from the fossil record, Hone shows how we can deduce dinosaur behavior in a rigorous, evidence-based fashion. Compelling, authoritative, and entertainingly written, this account treats dinosaurs as living animals and shows how it is possible to reconstruct these past worlds from the limited data available to paleontologists. In a field rife with hyperbole, speculation, and unsupported assertions, this book provides an essential critical overview.”—Paul Barrett, coauthor of Dinosaurs: How They Lived and Evolved
