As a small boy in the early 1980s nothing seemed more exciting to Keiron Pim than a visit to Londonâs renowned Natural History Museum, where he would gaze up at theDiplodocus skeleton and later depart clutching some little dinosaur-related memento: an eraser shaped likeStegosaurus, a lurid poster of a Jurassic scene, or a book crammed with dino-facts. It would have blown his four-year-old mind to know that thirty years later a book on dinosaurs would be his first publication. Keiron, married with three young daughters, is a writer and journalist now based in Norfolk, England.
John âJackâ Horner is one of the worldâs foremost paleontologists, credited with finding the first dinosaur eggs in the Western Hemisphere, the first evidence of dinosaur colonial nesting, the first evidence of parental care among dinosaurs, and the first dinosaur embryos. He served as the inspiration for Paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant in Michael CrichtonâsJurassic Park, and as the technical advisor on all of the Jurassic Parkfilms. Horner is Curator of Paleontology at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana, and Regents Professor of Paleontology at Montana State University.
