The Griffin and the Dinosaur

Ain't Nothing But a Man: The New York Times: "...the tale of a detective chasing the ultimate cold case--a missing person who may or may not be fictional--and it's so engaging, so full of the thrill of the hunt, that it feels mean to dampen the book's pleasures even a little by telling you right away what, or rather who, Nelson found...Nelson's enthusiasm for historical sleuthing would whet any reader's appetite to do the same. It pulls the neat trick of giving you a heaping serving of a story you thought you already knew, and leaving you wanting more." Publishers Weekly: "Convincing and dramatic, this volume makes a good case that history is a living science."

If Stones Could Speak: ...Marc Aronson's new book presents archaeology not as an ancient, dusty endeavor but as a vibrant, down-in-the-dirt scientific pursuit--groundbreaking in both senses...The book's wonderful graphics and clear explanations give young readers a sense of the theories about Stonehenge through the centuries.--Washington Post
