Dino-vember Adult Nonfiction Book Recommendations


Things are going to get weird. There may be horrific disasters, and many lives will  be lost. But don't worry. As long as we keep exploring, humanity is going to survive.

They seem to have broad tastes. Here are a few of the most popular nonfiction titles from our Dino-vember reading list.


Size: How it Explains the World by Vaclav Smil

Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Canada’s University of Manitoba Vaclav Smil writes about energy and environmental issues and offers a clever analysis of topics like disease and climate change that a Giganotosaurus, Tyrannosaurus rex, or any fan of popular science will appreciate.      




Author Cody Cassidy explores how to survive interesting threats such as dinosaur attacks, asteroids, lava flows, and drowning and includes helpful  illustrations. 

Dinovember is a month-long observance in November, invented in 2012 by Susan and Refe Tuma, the authors of the illustrated children's book What the Dinosaurs Did Last Night.
