The interviewee cites [Robert] Bakker [0] as a gateway author into science, but doesn't actually mention Bakker's excellent 1986 book, 'The Dinosaur Heresies' which promoted the idea that many dinosaurs were agile, smart and warm blooded. Bakker had been publishing on this concept since the mid-1970s. Jurassic Park may have helped with popularisation, but it was Bakker and his co-researchers who started the modernisation.
