A NOTE ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Robert T. Bakker started his heretical dinosaur stud-
ies as a Yale undergraduate in the 1960s and contin-
ued at Harvard Graduate School where he was elected
to the elite Society of Fellows. He has taught every
level from kindergarten to advanced graduate semi-
nars and tells the story of the dinosaur revolution in
a lively style without scientific jargon. A skilled art-
ist, Professor Bakker illustrated the book with his
own reconstruction of dinosaurs alive and in action.
He is adjunct curator at the University Museum, the
University of Colorado. His wife and co-excavator of
bones and ideas, Constance Clark, edits books on
African history and South America for the Westview
Press in Boulder.
