"... are dinosaurs social constructs? Do we really know anything about dinosaurs? Might not all of our beliefs about dinosaurs merely be figments of the paleontological imagination? A few years ago such questions would have seemed preposterous, even nonsensical. Now they must have a serious answer." At stake in the "Science Wars" that have raged in academe and in the media is nothing less than the standing of science in our culture. One side argues that science is a "social construct," that it does not discover facts about the world, but rather constructs artifacts disguised as objective truths. This view threatens the authority of science and rejects science's claims to objectivity, rationality, and disinterested inquiry. Drawing Out Leviathan examines this argument in the light of some major debates about dinosaurs: the case of the wrong-headed dinosaur, the dinosaur "heresies" of the 1970s, and the debate over the extinction of dinosaurs. Keith Parsons claims that these debates, though lively and sometimes rancorous, show that evidence and logic, not arbitrary "rules of the game," remained vitally important, even when the debates were at their nastiest. They show science to be a complex set of activities, pervaded by social influences, and not easily reducible to any stereotype. Parsons acknowledges that there are lessons to be learned by scientists from their would-be adversaries, and the book concludes with some recommendations for ending the Science Wars.

For several decades a glut of new information has created a golden era in dinosaur studies. While the scientific methodology underpinning this sustained revolution has been robust, myopic tendencies have created entrenched gaps in our idea making and narrative creation. This book is a bold attempt to fill in some of these narrative blank spots, often times in strange, unexpected, and utilitarian ways. Nash offers a customized "bounded speculation" approach to his idea making, resulting in a breadth of new thought for dinosaurs including their anatomy, physiology, ecology, diet, biting technique, soft tissue and reproductive strategies. Not since Robert Bakker's Dinosaur Heresies has a dinosaur book offered such a bold, compelling, vast and visceral shotgun blast to not only dinosaur establishment, but academia and the Neo-liberal culture underpinning. Nash seamlessly blends the kaiju/archetypal sensibility of dinosaurs with their biological and ecological reality but suggests that this blending is not only unavoidable but ultimately useful. Dinosaur Enlightenment is a book that can be seen on many levels and in many directions all at once. And in era of ecological, environmental, social, and political disruption Dinosaur Enlightenment offers the hint of an unexpected, but strangely familiar, path forward.

"The best general-audience dinosaur book since the Dinosaur Renaissance began in the 1970s."—Philip J. Currie, coeditor of Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs, from the foreword “Dinosaur Odyssey is not only a personable and highly accessible tour of the up-to-date discoveries about the gigantic and famous. It also builds on dinosaur paleontology to far-ranging topics like extinction, climate change, and the possibility of life on Mars. The gift to the reader is both fascination and enlightenment.”—Michael Novacek, author of Terra and Dinosaurs of the Flaming Cliffs "An odyssey indeed! One of the world's leading dinosaur paleontologists, Sampson draws on a wide variety of sciences, from astronomy and cosmology to microbiology and ecology, in order to portray dinosaurs as living animals. The reader is in for a treat and will emerge with fresh and valuable insights."—Peter Dodson, author of The Horned Dinosaurs
