Thank you to @David_Farrier, special #FossilFriday visitor to our @GeosciencesEd palaeontology group meeting! Check out David's fascinating and provocative book Footprints. What fossil traces might humanity leave behind, millions of years in the future? https://t.co/kUIyXSpepB

And these megafauna! Including the most terrifying & ridiculous saber-toothed tiger, mauling this poor sap. As if from some level of Dante's hell reserved for the most evil among us. Cinema history right here! Awesome to revel in it! https://t.co/DxVZgDYDbg

If you want to read the most boring book in the history of paleontology--and believe me, I mean that in an endearing way--check out @Ichnologist's Life Sculpted! But you'll have to wait until May... https://t.co/NBgkYy5nyr

If you're looking for a summer read, and want to revel in our mammalian ancestors and cousins, like these Ice Age monster ground sloths... ...then maybe you'd enjoy The Rise and Reign of the Mammals! Published 2 months ago, and I'm thrilled by the kind words from readers so far! https://t.co/t8DfcwyHRe

@SorensenHank I’d suggest starting with some of Steve Gould’s essays and Carl Zimmer’s textbooks and pop sci books. And Jerry Coyne’s Why Evolution is True is a good read that covers a lot of ground and a lot of the evidence in a breezy way.

@Forrec1984 As a fellow soon-to-be 38 year old with an obsessive interest in dinosaurs, particularly theropods, I would recommend @Dave_Hone's The Tyrannosaur Chronicles, and recent books by @TetZoo & @Dean_R_Lomax, and look out for the upcoming Last Days of the Dinosaurs by @Laelaps!

Big thanks to Dan Richards @Dan_Zep for his enthusiastic hosting, fine humor, and debatable shellfish-cracking skills @WigtownBookFest! Check out Dan's books: Outpost, Holloway, etc. I look forward to diving into Outpost soon! https://t.co/C0s4RJ1nR5

Happy publication day @Laelaps, on this fascinating, page-turning, barn-burner of prehistorical nonfiction. Want to know what it was like during those moments, days, months, and years after the end-Cretaceous asteroid hit? Read The Last Days of the Dinosaurs!

Brilliantly done @EndOfThePier! We saw a sneak peak of A (Very) Short History of Life on Earth a few years back, when our first-year @GeosciencesEd students read & critiqued Henry's early draft. Knew it was destined for great things! Congrats to @RavindraM @picadorbooks too. https://t.co/603sBxfuxG

In a genre that can tend toward cookie-cutter sameness (another dinosaur encyclopedia?), Halliday has honed a unique voice. His approach is novel as well. Otherlands is a Benjamin Button tale, which begins in the present day and runs in reverse, the evolution of life in rewind.
