1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 We were joined by&amp;nbsp;science writer Riley Black, author of several bestsellers on paleontology including&amp;nbsp;My Beloved Brontosaurus,&amp;nbsp;Written in Stone, and&amp;nbsp;Skeleton Keys. And if you've read literally&amp;nbsp;anything&amp;nbsp;anywhere about dinosaurs in the last decade, you’ve probably happened upon pieces by her in National Geographic, WIRED, Smithsonian Magazine, and Scientific American. Her new book is&amp;nbsp;The Last Days of the Dinosaurs: An Asteroid, Extinction, and the Beginning of Our World. It’s a richly narrated story that starts with the end of the world, and also&amp;nbsp;depicts the beginnings of the world where&amp;nbsp;our mammal forebears would learn to thrive—and it&amp;nbsp;represents a new beginning for the author as well.
