The whole world needs, "BALANCE," without it you have chaos. Going
about our daily lives we rarely pay attention to the animals we
share our world with. This was about to change. The world has
become overcrowded with humans and their machines. To resolve this
problem, living forces of nature have taken it upon themselves to
save the planet from this threat. The fate of every human lies
within a game warden of Kentucky, by the name of Mary. She forms a
most unlikely alliance with a creature of legend, known as BIGFOOT.
Together they race to save mankind from extinction. Unknown to them
another evil saidstic creature of the forest seeks to prevent them
from reaching the one who can stop the slaughter.
Something is wrong in England. In and around the London area,
people are suddenly becoming bad-tempered, with a rapid increase in
crime and murder, and a clear decline in self-respect. Linked to
this strange behavior is an excavation site, now a mighty smoking
crater emitting clouds of noxious gas that appear to be causing the
sudden change in human behavior. And then, from within the vast
fissure below the crater, there emerge the hideous survivals of a
lost age of monster dinosaurs. It's up to Cliff Brooks, project
engineer, to develop a mighty boring capsule capable of penetrating
deep within the earth, where he hopes to close off the source of
the gas. But when an accident disables his machine a thousand miles
from any source of help, only Herbert the Dinosaur can save day A
rollicking good SF adventure tale, the first in a two-book series.
In "My Beloved Brontosaurus," the dinosaur fanatic Brian Switek
enriches the child-like sense of
wonder that dinosaurs, with their awe-inspiring size, terrifying
claws and teeth, and otherworldly
abilities, instill in us. Investigating the latest discoveries in
paleontology, he breathes new
life into old bones.
Switek visits desolate excavation sites and hallowed museum vaults,
exploring everything from "T.
rex"'s feather-laden body and the sex life of "Apatosaurus" to just
why dinosaurs vanished. He
celebrates the book's titular hero, ""Brontosaurus""--who suffered
a second extinction when we
learned the titan never existed at all--as a symbol of scientific
progress, and questions other
long-held truths about these amazing beasts. Weaving in memories
from his own obsession with
dinosaurs, which started when he was just knee-high to a
"Stegosaurus," Switek creates an
endearing and essential narrative about our own evolution and place
on Earth. A book that dinosaur
fans will cherish for years to come, "My Beloved Brontosaurus" is a
classic work of science
storytelling.

Clifford Brooks and his wife Joan believe that 'Herbert, ' the
frisky dinosaur who'd saved their lives in A THING OF THE PAST, has
been lost forever in the Earth's underworld. But to their
amazement, he returns to the surface of the Earth--and immediately
raises once again all of the complicated problems attendant upon
trying to house a fearsome, 80-ton prehistoric beast in the midst
of modern society. He's eventually condemned to death as a menace
to the community, but somehow he--or his owners--always managed to
circumvent the final sentence. Which is just as well, since it
appears that Herbert's appearance is almost providential. When
aliens from another star arrive to Earth bent on denuding the
planet of one of its natural resources, only Herbert can save the
day Another delightful SF adventure from the pulp paperback era
