Remember Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World, in which an expedition led by Professor George Edward Challenger discovered an Amazonian plateau where dinosaurs still roamed? In Dinosaur Summer, Greg Bear assumes that Challenger's expedition really took place, and that for nearly 50 years dinosaurs have been relatively commonplace in zoos and circuses throughout the world. But the beasts are not easily kept in captivity, and slowly but surely their numbers are dwindling. Now there is only one dinosaur circus left, and it's shutting down. The dinosaur trainer wants to return his animals to the wild, so an expedition is organized to return the dinos to their nearly inaccessible plateau. Accompanying the group (which includes special-effects master Ray Harryhausen) is 15-year-old Peter Belzoni, the son of the National Geographic photographer covering the story. The boy is about to have the adventure of a lifetime.
Download Description
Fifty years after Professor Challenger's discovery of the Lost World, America's last dinosaur circus has gone bankrupt . . . leaving a dozen avisaurs, centrosaurs, ankylosaurs, and one large raptor abandoned. Now a daring expedition plans to do the impossible: return the Jurassic giants to the wild. Two filmmakers, a circus trainer, a journalist, and young Peter Belzoni must find a way to take the dinosaurs across oceans, continents, rivers, jungles, up a mountain that has been isolated for 70,000,000 years. . . .Then, if they make it, all they'll have to do is face the prehistoric wonders, dangers, and terrors of the Lost World.

Chapter 18.......2007-07-01
I've read alot of Greg Bear's books. I was enjoying this one until Chapter 18. The first page of Chapter 18 describes a character mentioned nowhere else in the book - Dr Tannenbaum. Bear describes him as "His nose hooked sharpley and his eyes were small and close together." This is the quintessential Nazi stereotype Jew. Why is it used here??
Slow to start, never got going.......2003-01-31
This book reads like either, A) an early effort written before a good author learns pacing and plot development, or B) a movie or television treatment flushed out to book length.
We know the answer isn't A, since this book was published, and presumably written, years after Bear wrote memorable series like Eon and Forge of God. If the answer is B, well then, it's going to be a pretty darn slow moving movie.
Bear gets points for showing us interesting dinosaur behavior and for incorporating real people and famous fictional characters into the story line. But the story never takes off and soars.
Rating: If you are a dinosaur fiction nut: 3 stars
If not, 2 stars.
If you are looking for more quality fiction from the author of Eon and Forge of God, keep looking.
THE REAL LOST WORLD REVISITED!.......2002-01-15
Fans of the films of Willis O'Brien and Ray Harryhausen (King Kong, Mighty Joe Young, Vally Of Gwangi etc.) must not miss this wonderful book. Bear has payed loving homage to those masters of the lost art of stop-motion animation in a thrilling, beautiful story that begs to be read again and again. A sequel to the original "The Lost World" by Arthur Conan Doyle, this book is tailor-made for those like myself who grew up glued to the TV on Saturday afternoons whenever the local UHF station treated us to any of the aforementioned films (often with a dog-eared copy of "Famous Monsters Magazine" clutched in our hands.).Indeed, reading "Dinosaur Summer" was like watching the lost O'Brien-Harryhausen film that you never knew existed.
But even if you have no idea who O'Brien, Harryhausen, Merian C. Cooper or Ernest Schoedsack are, if you love dinosaurs and/or adventure this book is a can't-miss winner. And as an added bonus the art of Tony DiTerlizzi found throughout the book-in B/W and Color-captures wonderfully the spirit of adventure and imagination that fuels the story.
As an aside, to those who have complained that the creatures inhabiting the plateau are not the dinos they would like to see; What do you want? More of Crichton's Velociraptors and rexes? Hey, don't tell me the Altovenator wasn't cool (and pretty darn close to the real-life Afrovenator.) Likewise, the Death Eagle is quite a remarkable beast and not too far removed from actual prehistoric counterparts in Titanis walleri, Phorusrachus, etc.
So if you love dinos but were dissapointed by some of the less-than-stellar efforts lately (Crichton's "Lost World", both page and screen, come to mind as well as JP3 and Dismal's...er...uh...Disney's "Dinosaur") "Dinosaur Summer" is just the ticket. Dig up those old "Famous Monsters" magazines, pop some popcorn and dig in!
coming-of-age story devlolves into bad Jurassic Park rerun.......2001-08-27
Jurassic Park meets Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World in this unpretentious story about a group of adventurers returning circus dinosaurs back to the wild. The first half was a pleasingly poignant story, centered around a coming-of-age-story of a boy trying to understand his father. Much of this novel had the feel of a young adult story, in a good way; I could picture myself reading it to a young nephew someday. Unfortunately, once the adventurers released the dinosaurs into their native habitat, Jurassic Park broke loose. And so I read as quickly as possible to get to the end. P.S. The illustrations are keen.
Not Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, but . . ........2001-06-26
I bought DINOSAUR SUMMER hoping to be transported to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Lost World, but ran off to join the circus instead. It took some time for me to accept the hokey notion that if dinosaurs were re-discovered on earth, they would be nothing more than sideshow acts in a circus and people would lose interest in them. I doubt it.
I can't help comparing this to DINOSAUR WARS, another recent dinosaur science fiction offering, and first of a series. In that saga, the entire world is beset by dinosaurs and the human characters are trapped by events beyond their control. The fate of humanity is at stake. Furthermore DINOSAUR WARS' dinos are realistic depictions of known Cretaceous critters, not arbitrary creations like Bear's Venator. This means you can learn about Pachyrhinosaurus, Megaraptor and such while reading a scary and exciting adventure story. Hopp's Professor Ogilvey matches Doyle's Challenger in wit, and exceeds him in hilarity. Bear's Shellabarger and other circus and Hollywood types don't quite cut it, though not bad. Bear's addition of a kid is a good element. On the other hand, the hero of DINOSAUR WARS, Chase Armstrong and the heroine, Kit Daniels, make a convincing romantic pair who add to the overall beauty of the read -- women were almost totally lacking in DINOSAUR SUMMER, as in THE LOST WORLD. DINOSAUR WARS mixes males and females in roughly equal proportions -- rare, for an adventure story.
I thought DINOSAUR SUMMER was an enjoyable book, but whatever you do, don't miss DINOSAUR WARS and the new sequel, COUNTERATTACK.

A love letter to the thunder lizards.......2007-09-17
A departure from Bear's usual hard sf, Dinosaur Summer is a love letter to the thunder lizards and to those who brought them to life in literature and on the silver screen. Bear posits an alternate reality where Conan Doyle's Professor Challenger actually did visit The Lost World in 1912, bringing dinosaurs back to the outside world. The result? Boredom, as the novelty of these strange creatures quickly fades. In the end the great dinosaurs, removed from their ecological niche in Venezuela, are relegated to sideshow status.
The book chronicles the adventures of Peter Balzoni, a young man on the cusp of adulthood. It's 1947, and Peter's photojournalist dad Anthony has been hired by National Geographic to record the efforts of Circus Lothar to return their dinosaurs to the Venezuelan plateau of El Grande. Also filming this extraordinary event are Willis O'Brien (who did the special effects on a box office flop called King Kong) and his protégé, Ray Harryhausen.
Bear sets a leisurely pace, taking his time getting his cast to El Grande, but, once they arrive, the book moves very fast. Peter and friends are trapped on the plateau and have to find their way out before they are devoured by the saurians and other creatures stalking them. The last third of the novel is non-stop action, as its stalwart heroes hurtle from one peril to the next, on their way towards a (mostly) happy ending.
The book pays homage to pulp fiction and the action/adventure genre in general, with particular reference to writers like Arthur Conan Doyle and Edgar Rice Burroughs. What seems like a straightforward adventure story conceals some deeper points, however. Bear brings a nineties' sensibility to his text, indirectly commenting on man's tendency to exploit lesser beasts, and questioning the rights of superpowers to interfere in the political affairs of smaller nations. Bear also delves into the spiritual lives of the Amazon tribesmen, giving them more depth than they would have received if this story had been written several decades ago. The closed environment of El Grande also allows Bear to speculate on what might have evolved there. Doing so, he updates and justifies Doyle's science, and carries it so far as to create his own species, among them lizard-monkeys and the hive dwelling communisaurs.
For an adventure story, the book's pace was almost unforgivably slow--at times I found myself wishing that the expedition would finally reach Venezuela so the real action could begin. Also, except for Peter and Anthony, there was little depth to the characters in the novel; Bear, for the most part, ignores the rest of his cast. Still, I was willing to overlook these faults and indulge the eight year old dinosaur lover in me, the kid who thrilled to movies like King Kong, The Lost World (the Irwin Allen version) and Journey to the Center of the Earth. Displaying an utter lack of pretension, Bear delivers an enjoyable yarn that ultimately satisfied both that eight year old and his older, stodgier incarnation.
Not Free SF Reader.......2007-09-04
"This is a bit of an odd sort of book. Now, dinosaurs are of course, cool, but this is a mixture of Conan Doyle pastiche and young adult sort of novel, so it only really comes off as average, as a boy and his circus type father look to repatriate a bunch of captive dinosaurs back to the plateau that Challenger originally discovered.
Things don't go smoothly, of course, to make it a bit of an adventure.

Book Description
Dippy was created by Jenni Jackson at the age of eight. She is a magical diplodocus and Jenni drew on her own imagination, without help from friends or family, to build a whole world to explain how she could live in the modern world of today.
The book is packed full of colorful illustrations produced by Julie Giles, a business contact of Jenni's father. The vibrant colours and style of the illustrations is very different to other books and comments from local schools and play groups have been very positive. Jenni was consulted at all stages about the artwork and she feels that Julie has captured Dippy just as she imagined her.
There is a lot for parents and teachers to engage with their young readers over as they enjoy the storey, things to count or to point too and colours to identify. There is humor in the illustrations to raise a smile and if all the above wasn't enough there is a gentle storey.
The first book featuring and introducing Dippy the Diplodocus finds her children, Dippy and their adopted human family on their summer holiday in the Isle of Wight. This is taken directly from "real life" and represents the time when Jenni's parents realized that what Jenni had created could actually be of interest to a wider audience.

Book Description
What is as beautiful and useless as a dinosaur? Or as pleasant to read about? My novel Bones of the Earth introduced me to the sheer fun of writing about dinosaurs, and I've been crafting short stories about those wonderful beasts off and on ever since, each one with the name of a specific species in the title. Someday I'll have enough to publish a collection. This story is about Triceratops.
Customer Reviews:
Great story!.......2007-02-17
This science-fiction story was fun to read. It is beautifully and carefully constructed. I think you'll enjoy reading and re-reading it. Not only is Michael Swanwick's "Triceratops Summer" a wonderful love story in its own right, it can be read as an insightful response to/commentary on Kohelet, the Book of Ecclesiastes. I ended up telling my philosophy students about it today during a discussion of Kohelet.
Great story.......2007-01-09
This is a truly great story, and a great way to spend a few minutes. Swanwick is a great author and I can't think of a better way to spend .49 USD. Great entertainment, even if you're someone who doesn't enjoy sci-fi.

You can't properly call yourself a gourmand (or even a minor foodie) until you've digested Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin's delectable 1825 treatise, The Physiology of Taste: Or, Meditations on Transcendental Gastronomy. Brilliantly and lovingly translated in 1949 by M.F.K. Fisher (herself the doyenne of 20th-century food writing), the book offers the Professor's meditations not just on matters of cooking and eating, but extends to sleep, dreams, exhaustion, and even death (which he defines as the "complete interruption of sensual relations"). Brillat-Savarin, whose genius is in the examination and discussion of food, cooking, and eating, proclaims that "the discovery of a new dish does more for human happiness than the discovery of a star."
Chocoholics will be satisfied to know that "carefully prepared chocolate is as healthful a food as it is pleasant ... that it is above all helpful to people who must do a great deal of mental work...." He examines the erotic properties of the truffle ("the truffle is not a positive aphrodisiac; but it can, in certain situations, make women tenderer and men more agreeable"), the financial influence of the turkey (apparently quite a prize in 19th-century Paris), and the level of gourmandise among the various professions (bankers, doctors, writers, and men of faith are all predestined to love food). Just as engrossing as the text itself are M.F.K. Fisher's lively, personal glosses at the end of every chapter, which make up almost a quarter of the book. These two are soulmates separated by centuries, and Fisher's fondness for the Professor comes through on every page. As she notes at the end, "I have yet to be bored or offended, which is more than most women can say of any relationship, either ghostly or corporeal." --Rebecca A. Staffel
Book Description
M.F.K. Fisher's translation of Brillat-Savarin's masterpiece is a true marriage of minds and sensibilities, a classic against which all subsequent gastronomical writing must be measured
Published in 1825 after some three decades of consuming research, The Physiology of Taste is the most famous book ever written about food. Witty and elegant, it is a classic in the grandest sense. Brillat-Savarin set out to write about food and cookery, but his interests and enthusiasms ranged so widely over matters of the human spirit that they could hardly be contained, and his work-here in its greatest translation-is a masterpiece of world literature.
A work spiced with style and wisdom, The Physiology of Taste remains among the most comprehensive, stimulating, and enjoyable works ever published on the subject of the senses and their pleasures. Epicureans by vocation and avocation will want this beautiful hardcover edition for their reference shelves.

Important socially, historically, and culturally--but not aestetically .......2006-01-22
After reading some of the reviews concerning this book, I can certainly agree with much of the praise as well as the criticism. Filled with pithy euphimisms, chunks of this wonderful adventure in gastronomy are a revealing look at the life of the well-to-do author; other morsels seem be out of place, dry of wit, and ill-seasoned. Nonetheless, this is still a good read--there are some fascinating ancedotes as to life in the "new" United States which Savarin reports on after an adventure in the newly independent colonies. Worthy of any well-stocked bookshelf.
love for gastronomy.......2005-10-08
You cannot say you love gastronomy without having ever read this book!
Exquisite morsels - but a bland meal.......2004-03-09
Full disclosure: I admit I read this book based on juicy rumors from gastronomy sources that it was considered an "underground classic" and summarily treasured by modern (and well-placed) gourmet cooks. And to complete that thought, I'll spare you, dear review-reader, some suspense: this book disappointed me. I even found the notes (glibly called "translator's glosses") by the esteemed M.F.K. Fisher a bit dry. Maybe the late Ms. Fisher got caught in the same trap; her notes refer almost constantly to the author's fame and wit in *other* contexts but they're uneven in the current text.
Still, I stand behind the three stars. Brillat-Savarin is not a brilliant author, but his insights into at least a few well-chosen subjects shine across the nearly two centuries since these "meditations" were penned. Long before the Atkins craze gripped American nutrition, for example, one can find here (in Meditation #21: "On Obesity"): "... the principal cause of any fatty corpulence is always a diet overloaded with starchy and farinaceous elements ..." One wonders how our 20th century nutritional experts missed this--especially since the good author's book has been out nearly two hundred years and very popular across Europe for much of this time.
Other nuggets of wisdom are equally remarkable. His analysis of taste manages to turn the standard teeth-chew-the-food, stomach-takes-the-food scientific tract into a celebration of good flavors. A long meditation "on food in general" gives any reader new perspectives on coffee, chocolate, and especially truffles. But physiology is never far behind; the aforementioned tasting discussion includes a prophetic note about the contributions of smell. Fisher's contributions to--and obvious loving translation of--these bits bring the gastronomical poetry up to date.
Unfortunately, I've given you all the highlights. The remainder of this book is stuffed with essays either having little to do with gastronomy ("On Exhaustion?" Death? Hunting Luncheons?) or rambling on with little factual basis. Brillat-Savarin wrote this as a journal and it shows far too often; it's disorganized, didactic to the point of annoyance, and only occasionally stays true to the scientific promise of its title. And poor Ms. Fisher usually ends up as a bystander.
With these critiques in mind, I'd recommend 'The Physiology of Taste" as selective reading. A few of the essays are timeless and beautifully written. Most are turgid and make little sense to a 21st century food lover. Given Ms. Fisher's pedigree I'd hesitate to blame the translation; the author gets full credit and blame.
The standard English edition of a landmark eccentric classic.......2002-11-21
The standard edition of this work in the US, and a lively one. Jean-Anthelme de Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826) is known for this book and for pithy maxims like "Adam and Eve sold themselves for an apple. What would they have done for a truffled fowl?" (That of course in the days when the truffles that most people heard of were real ones, not chocolate candies that look like them; and also when the real ones were much more plentiful and less expensive.) Memorable are the wonderful anecdotes of the kindly old priest and his "austere" meatless menu ("The Curé's Omelet," with "theoretical notes" afterwards) and of Brillat's scheme at a country inn to enhance a humble dish. This wide-ranging book established its author as an original and knowledgeable voice in French food writing, to be compared with Carême and Grimod de la Reynière.
Brillat-Savarin, among other roles, was the basis of Marcell Rouff's _The Passionate Epicure,_ a fictional book gently combining food and sex (naturally, as a friend of mine remarked, since it's French), which was widely read in English when the translation appeared in 1962. Marcella Hazan and (I believe) Julia Child cited it in their cookbooks. In his preface to the 1962 Rouff, Lawrence Durrell (himself a fashionable author at that time) explained that many in the Brillat-Savarin family "died at the dinner table, fork in hand" and that Brillat's sister Pierrette, two months before her hundredth birthday, spoke at table what are to food fanatics easily the most famous last words ever: "Vite! Apportez-moi le dessert -- je sens que je vais passer!"
Fisher's translation and notes are a lively part of this edition of Brillat-Savarin (happily reprinted recently). Some booksellers offer newer editions by different English translators; I don't know why. This semi-scholarly translation and editing, executed in France during the post-war period described in her autobiographical _Two Towns in Provence,_ was the work that established Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher among US gastronomic writers. Her later status as Official Food Celebrity encouraged journalists to cite her automatically (whether they had read her work or not), but at least this time, publicity and merit coincide.
Provides a timeless discussion of French food.......2002-11-10
Physiology Of Taste is an unabridged photomechnical reproduction of a classic 1925 edition and should be on the shelves of any serious and dedicated gourmet cook. Physiology Of Taste provides a timeless discussion of French food and cooking written in 1825 by a master at both culinary insight and writing. Whimsical reflection mixes with serious food insights in a most satisfying manner.
Customer Reviews:
A superb book, superbly translated.......2006-09-01
NOTE: This review refers to ISBN 1-58243-103-5. This is a reprint edition of the original Heritage Press publication, in 1949, of M.F.K. Fisher's translation of Brillat-Savarin. As issued, the book is simply titled "The Physiology of Taste, or, Meditations on Transcendental Gastronomy."
Now, with those details out of the way, let me make bold to say that this is one of the world's great books!
When I first began reading it, I became annoyed: "Who is this Frenchman, who thinks he can write about, and tell me about, everything under the sun?" For the book contains many, many digressions. I have seen it referred to as a "cookbook," which is wildly wrong -- it is MEANT to be a book about food and the art of cooking food. And no less about the art of eating food.
But the many digressions are the key to this wonderful book.
A brief biography: born in 1755, trained as a lawyer, Brillat-Savarin became the mayor of his home town, Belley. But he fled France at the time of the Revolution, and went to America. After his brief exile, he returned to Paris and served as a judge in the court of appeals. He spent the last twenty-five years of his life living peacefully, and writing this book.
Did he know that he was creating a masterpiece? Interesting question!
As his intrepid translator, M.F.K. Fisher comments, this seems to be a book which will last more than a century or two. It may well live for thousands of years.
WHY?
Because of the personality and intelligence of the author! Just like Fisher, I wish that I had been one of his friends! And, when push comes to shove, one purpose of a library is to provide an army of friends, hopefully intelligent, gentle, serene, and perceptive. Brillat-Savarin is all of these.
One sample discussion that I can recall from memory is about the ability of various men to enjoy tasty food. And Brillat-Savarin puts his point simply and unforgettably: there are men born blind, and men born lame, and men born deaf. On the other hand, there are men born with sight, men born with normal mobility, and men who can hear. In the same way, some men are born with an inability to appreciate delicious food, due to a lack of taste-buds on the tongue or whatever, BUT there are men who are born loving tasty food -- and I am writing my book by and about these people! :-)
Be careful about buying this book! It may wind up on your nightstand for a long, long, time. Fine wine indeed, from a truly vintage mind -- and a truly fine translator.
Also beware: it may make you hungry! :-)
