They were also massive - often topping 500,000 words - and widely acclaimed for the years of research he put into each one, both in libraries and in the field. His novels were international best sellers, praised around the world for their stylish prose, lively wit and adventurously bawdy spirit. On one hand, he was a man of acknowledged intellect and erudition. Gary Jennings led a paradoxically picaresque life. Where the erudition came from, however, was something of a mystery. Jennings served in the Korean War, where he was awarded the Bronze Star Medal- a decoration rarely given to soldier-reporters- and a personal citation by South Korean President Syngman Rhee for his efforts on behalf of war orphans.

‘The Woven Path’ received substantial critical acclaim, went to the top of the children’s bestseller lists, and was runner-up in the Lancashire Libraries Award 1996 as well as being shortlisted for a number of other children’s book prizes. ‘The Woven Path’, published in July 1995, was Robin Jarvis ‘s first book for CollinsChildren’s Books, and is the first in an exciting fantasy trilogy, ‘Tales from the Wyrd Museum’. Shortlisted in the past for the Carnegie Prize and Smarties Award, Robin Jarvis has won the Lancashire Libraries Children’s Book of the Year Award twice, and has a cult following among children. Exchanging modelling tools for a pen, Robin produced the result that we know today, and from there his body of children’s fantasy adventures began to grow…. In 1988, when he was a model maker by profession, Robin Jarvis had just moved to Deptford and was busy working on a huge green model alien for Channel 4! He used to produce sketches of the area, and strangely enough, of rodents, and when an editor saw these drawings she asked whether Robin had a story to go with them. A multi-talented artist, he not only writes some thrilling stories, but also illustrates all his own books. Robin Jarvis started writing in 1988 and quickly acquired a reputation as a bestselling children’s author with his acclaimed ‘Deptford Mice’ trilogy, and the ‘Whitby Witches’ (Macdonald). Almost all modern animals that walk upright are warm-blooded, and dinosaurs walked upright.In his 1986 work The Dinosaur Heresies, Bakker puts forth the theory that dinosaurs were warm-blooded.

His seminal work, The Dinosaur Heresies, was published in 1986. He published his first paper on dinosaur endothermy in 1968. His specialty is the ecological context and behavior of dinosaurs.īakker has been a major proponent of the theory that dinosaurs were warm-blooded, smart, fast, and adaptable. Along with his mentor John Ostrom, Bakker was responsible for initiating the ongoing " dinosaur renaissance" in paleontological studies, beginning with Bakker's article "Dinosaur Renaissance" in the April 1975 issue of Scientific American. Robert Thomas Bakker (born March 24, 1945) is an American paleontologist who helped reshape modern theories about dinosaurs, particularly by adding support to the theory that some dinosaurs were endothermic (warm-blooded). The book moves chronologically through O’Flaherty’s life, focusing most closely on the war years. With true Irish storytelling flair, Gallagher makes Scarlet Pimpernel of the Vatican read like a novel. This, plus much research and many other interviews with people who knew, helped, or were helped by the priest, became the basis for Gallagher’s book, Scarlet Pimpernel of the Vatican, published in the late sixties. After much pleading on the reporter’s part, the reluctant Monsignor was persuaded to give one interview. The name stuck.Īfter the war, Gallagher continued to be intrigued by the story. In one feature the reporter dubbed O’Flaherty the “Scarlet Pimpernel of the Vatican,” after the fictional hero of a popular adventure series by novelist Emma Orczy. Gallagher first heard about Hugh O’Flaherty while covering the war front, and was largely responsible for bringing the Monsignor’s story to the attention of the world at large.
