"Johnson and Troll have done it again, congratulations! This book is a knockout blend of science and humor, featuring superb artwork, people, and stories about the West Coast of the US and its fascinating prehistory. This book will make you laugh while exciting you with extraordinary science. It revives that sense of childhood wonder about dinosaurs and other bizarre creatures of bygone days." John Long, Professor in Palaeontology at Flinders University in Australia, and author of many books, including Dawn of the DeedThe Prehistoric Origins of Sex "Far from a dry scientific textbook, this is a charming celebration of fossils and those who study them." Publishers Weekly " Cruisin' the Fossil Coastline packs written and visual stories from cover to coverall infused with a genuine passion for science and the joy of discovery." Susan Ewing, author of Resurrecting the Shark "This is a fun and informative book that moves briskly, bringing science and scientists alive." David A. James, Anchorage Daily News "In the long and storied history of fossil-hunting, the dynamic duo of Johnson and Troll is unique. No one else has made this grueling work look like so much fun. Once again, they've returned from an 'epoch' road trip laden with tales and images that are at once joyfully accessible and deeply informative. And the colors! They'll knock your eyes out." John Vaillant, author of The Tiger and The Golden Spruce
