"This update from the award-winning first edition includes the latest discoveries and prevailing theories, as well as several color photographs of the scientists and their findings. A valuable volume detailing an underexplored region of the world of dinosaurs, Dinosaurs of Darkness is essential reading for any dino-devotee."—Foreword Reviews
"This book mentions crucial topics—grants, permits, marketing—that are usually avoided by authors, because they are less exciting than talking about the dinosaurs themselves. They remind readers that without this context, there would be no dinosaurs to talk about! Paleontology is a field that constantly needs to "prove" itself to authorities, sponsors, institutions—and researchers have to become marketing experts, playing the political and mediatic game in order to gather funding and being able to keep digging. The authors explain how they made their way through this complicated system, and managed to get governmental permissions and funding, creating long-term relationships with sponsors, spreading around the news, and eventually showing the world their team's wonderful discoveries."—Blandine Hautier, Paleontological Society
