Thanks to a number of you purchasing books from amazon.com via this blog (every time someone clicks a link to an item on amazon and buys something I get a small percentage of the sale) I've got a substantial gift certificate to pick up a few new titles. During the past month, though, I've been literally waist deep in books at times and haven't given much thought as to what I should pick up next. I already have plenty that I'm interested in to choose from but I thought I would open up this thread for any recommendations you might have. What should I round out the summer reading before heading back to the lecture halls in a few weeks?
Two that I'm very excited about, although I can't *recommend* because I haven't read them yet:
Nudds and Seldon's "Fossil Ecosystems of North America"
and
Richards' new Haeckel biography "The Tragic Sense of Life"
I'd be interested to hear if others have already picked these up and what they think. I'm planning on getting them from the library but they're both being "processed" (ah, summer at the university library) so I might break down and actually buy them...
I'm getting books from Amazon.com, too. National Geographic Dinosaurs and Dinosaurs: The Complete Up To Date Encyclopedia For Dinosaur Lovers of All Ages
These are great awesome books I highly recommend anyone to own copies of.
