Dougal Dixon has written a great book called "The New Dinosaurs".

It is a visual exploration of how Dino's may have evolved if they had not gone extinct. Plenty of hairy T-Rex types, and even a bee like communal dino hive, I believe.

Another fun (fiction) book is "Dinosaur Summer" by Greg Bear, a return to the Lost World of Conan Doyle. Lots of fun, modern dinos.

How new is this book? I had a look at Amazon and although there are loads Dino books by said author I can't seem to find this one...

"The New Dinosaurs" is probably between 10-15 years old, but doesn't look it. It's a beautiful book.

"Dinosaur Summer" shouldn't be more than 3-4 years old. Probably much newer. Try searching for "Greg Bear". (It's fiction, if that helps.. a real adventure story)

UPDATE: I found it at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...346719-5628610
Dunno if this link will work, but a search for Greg Bear found it right away.

The New Dinosaurs is at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...346719-5628610
It wasn't on the first page of a Dougal Dixon search, but it's in there. I also reccomend "After Man" (A zoology of life after humans are gone) and "Man After Man" (humanities evolution). Both fun coffee table books.

Which book? (I reccomend The New Dinosaurs, personally)

Should have made myself clear - it was The New Dinosaurs that grabbed my interest.
However, on closer inspection the book is out of print!!!!!!!

Amazon says they'll search around a bit in other bookstores to see if they can find a copy.

Worth a look, or else see if your library has a copy.
