Review
"In Dinosaurs of the Air, Greg Paul provides us with original and innovative ideas, fine analysis, beautiful illustrations, and an important contribution to the literature of paleontology. It takes an innovative direction, suggesting that many groups of birdlike dinosaurs are the flightless descendants of animals that we would normally consider birds. It thus has the potential to become a true classic." -- Lawrence Witmer, Ohio University
"As a dinosaur paleontologist, I have had a long interest in the artistic and scientific aspects of Greg Paul's work. In Dinosaurs of the Air, he boldly discusses the idea that familiar Cretaceous dinosaurs such as Velociraptor and Oviraptor may have had flying ancestors. While many will disagree with Paul's conclusions, his artistic skill and original thinking will make them hard to ignore." -- Thomas R. Holtz, Jr., University of Maryland, College Park
