Absolutely splendid. This, for me at least, immediately brought to mind the first, and in my humble opinion the best, Jurassic Park film. Here we have a wonderfully well-written work of science journalism. One in which real science hearkens back to science fiction. Outstanding quoting and commentary make the piece informative, interesting, and exciting The photographs alone are worth the price of admission. And, the fact that entire monograph on the referenced subject is available makes the work even more enticing and worthy of a close read. The included links are nonpareil and the Author's style is equally engaging. An absolutely worthwhile use of one's time. Five stars!
