	Author and Title	Recommended by	Reviewer's Summary
	Harlan Levy And the Blood Cried Out	Christie Kelton	A compelling examination of a frontier where science meets the law. Levy, a former New York City prosecutor, was one of the first lawyers to specialize in using DNA evidence in criminal trials. He deftly leads the reader through a series of case studies... Anyone whose patience with the O.J. Simpson trial is not exhausted should check out the careful and illuminating analysis here. n.b. This book is temporarily out of print, but can probably be obtained from E-bay or similar resale sources.
	Robert Bakker: Raptor Red	Mindy Finch	Bakker, once paleontology's bad boy for insistently advocating such heresies as that dinosaurs were warm-blooded, imagines a year in the life of such a dinosaur, a young adult female he dubs, on account of her distinctive species markings, Raptor Red. She has come to Utah over the land bridge from Asia in a pack including her sister and the sister's two chicks. Her year is action filled, featuring an on-and-off-and-on relationship with an eligible male, conflicts with the impulsive sister, the oversight of an old dactyl (i.e., winged dinosaur) who is symbiotic with her pack, and vivid encounters with prey and rival carnivores that Bakker loads with biological and evolutionary information.
