Rare as it is to find a small, compact, light, comprehensive dinosaur information book, alias, here it is. In the introduction, you can find a history of the discovery of dinosaurs, as well as information about the physical make-up and biological classifications of dinosaurs. The book lists all the different species, which are grouped in an organized manner by family. Every two pages tells you about a different dinosaur, equipped with quick-facts, the time period, diagrams, pictures, and other vital, thorough information. The language may be a little too complicated for curious children to read... but apparently, my 6 year old brother found it absolutely enlightening.

This book gives the backstory for dozens of novelty songs and one hit wonders. The writer tells their stories with a marvelous sense of irony and delight: that the singers of Lions Sleep Tonight used to sing the Zulu lyrics without a clue what the song was about, that Convoy was sung by a classically trained art director, that La Macarena was big in South America in the early 1990's (well before it become big in Europe or the US), or that the Hokey Pokey was the B-Side for the Bunny Hop.

Reading this story gives an appreciation for the effort to produce these one-hit wonders and the sheer surprise that was involved in their becoming famous. Interestingly, throughout the book, Collins alludes to dj's and local radio stations that took a chance with one of these songs, something that is difficult to do when clearchannel uses carefully controlled market-driven playlists. This is one of these books with fascinating stories that you will not want to put down.

very well written. offers a very easy to read style by stressing the biographical and historical context of each theorist. covers early sociological theory to such recent philosopher/sociologists as michel foucault. well done!

I'm anxious to see this new animated '90s Tarzan on the big screen. You gotta have this book if you own the soundtrack. I'm immediately buying it when it comes out.

I read this book to my 5 year old summer camp children. They just roared when I used a little childs voice for Tim the younger brother. It was a delightful story to share with them, as well as to show them the actual signs in the book that Tim kept saying wrong. The children could tell me what the signs really said, and squeeled with delight when I used Tim's voice to say the signs the way he thought they read.

Our five year old son, who happens to be high functioning autistic, loved this book. He loves to play dress up, which is probably why he liked this book so much. He liked matching the descriptive questions with the child that is dressed that way.

One of the finest entries in Collins' nate Heller series. Publishes at what I consider the character's high water mark.

It is unfortunte that this book is out of print. Bring It Back!
