As if I didn't have enough books to read this year already, this July will see the publication of Tyrannosaurus rex: The Tyrant King, a book wholly dedicated to the iconic dinosaur. It's edited by Peter Larson and Kenneth Carpenter (it's part of the Life of the Past series), and although I don't know what will be in the book I have to say that I love the cover. You can already pre-order the book, although I'm going to try my best to get a review copy to do a write-up on as we get a little closer to the summer.

I'm also looking forward to the much closer publication of Dogs: Their Fossils Relatives and Evolutionary History and Elephants and Ethics: Toward a Morality of Coexistance, copies of which I'll also try to obtain to review here (although I'm sure I'll still eventually pick them up even if I am not able to). What books are you looking forward to this year?

I'm looking at an email from my editor when Emmy wanders by the computer, sniffing around just in case a crumb of food has fallen on the floor in the last five minutes. "Hey," I say, "Come here and look at this." "Look at what?" "This:" "It's the cover for my new book." "A-hem." "OK, fine, it's…
