I'm glad you enjoyed the book. <br /><br />A word on the relatively small clades - I decided to include horses and elephants because they have traditionally been taken as not only excellent examples of evolution, but icons of evolutionary progress up the scale of Nature. I thought that discussing their history - our the history of our thoughts about them - I could create a good lead-up to the chapter on humans and the conclusion.<br /><br />And all the editions of Written in Stone are paperbacks. Bellevue Literary Press issued the original version as a paperback, and Icon books went straight to paperback, too (although there are two versions - one with Mononykus, and the other with Allosaurus). My Beloved Brontosaurus, on the other claw, will come out as a hardback with a fold-out, double-sided poster by Mark Stutzman. Even better, there's a specially-commissioned bit of art by Niroot in the book, too!Laelapshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00920782525196396058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107291904794625632.post-40402828757944021292012-09-08T13:23:21.457-04:002012-09-08T13:23:21.457-04:00Yes.
