New Dinosaur Novel Promotes Science and Evolution
Falmouth, MA (PRWEB) November 6, 2006 -- In the furor of political debates over global warming and evolution, dinosaurs remain as popular as ever. Hell Creek, the new novel co-authored by Falmouth writer Lisa Graziano and her brother, Michael Graziano, includes all of the above and more. Named for the famous Montana fossil bed, site of many T. rex and other dinosaur bones, Hell Creek takes the reader on an adventure through the Cretaceous wilderness.
65-million years ago, the Earth was in a hot-house climate. T. rex, Triceratops horridus, raptors, and giant crocodiles abounded, oblivious to the cataclysmic evolutionary and climatic changes already beginning. And scampering through the underbrush or clambering around the forest canopy, inconspicuous and nocturnal, were Man's own tiny ancestors, poised for the explosion in diversity that we now call the Age of Mammals.
Paleontologist Julian Whitney and his four companions are hurled into this world by an unstable graviton vault in a physics lab. While the mystery of their disappearance keeps the local police chief busy, the four humans and a German Shepherd set out on a thousand-mile trek from the great inland seaway to the foothills of the infant Rocky Mountains, on the slim hope of 'reverting' to their proper era.
The Graziano team, both Ph.D. scientists and writers, used current research as the background of their novel, which was reviewed by a paleontologist and fact-checked by a Cretaceous plant expert. As an oceanographer (formerly a professor with Sea Education Association in Woods Hole, MA), Lisa has pulled in tidbits on plate tectonics, navigation, and a wealth of detail on the geology of the late Cretaceous North America. Michael, a Princeton University professor of neuroscience, adds his expertise in such diverse fields as particle physics and the evolution of primates. The authors' present their information in a non-intrusive way, so that readers can enjoy learning without having to disengage from the story.
