Dr John Long is one of the world's leading palaeontologists and an award-winning author. Currently Vice President of Research and Collections at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, previously John was Head of Sciences at Museum Victoria, and Curator of Vertebrate Palaeontology at the Western Australian Museum. His CV is as impressive and as long as, well, as long as an Argentine Duck's todger - 42.5 cm to be precise. And his name, Dr John Long, is wonderfully appropriate for this cheekily titled popular science book.John Long will receive in December the prestigious 2011 Royal Society of Victoria Research medal.
