|  | Dinosaurs by Carolyn Scrace, Scott Steedman
The Dinosaur Age (the Mesozoic era) began 225 million years ago. At that time the earth was covered in thick forests, dusty plains, and shallow seas. The climate was much hotter than it is now. There were no mammals or birds. The first dinosaurs searched for food among the shrubs and trees. The dinosaurs were reptiles, and today's snakes and crocodiles with their scaly skin are close relatives. Dinosaurs survived on Earth for the next 160 million years.

 | The Royal Physician's Visit by Per Olov Enquist, Tiina Nunnally
This novel takes place in the Swedish court in the 1760s, during the reign of the young mad King Christian VII. Christian is too young and scared to be an effective monarch, and gradually his power is usurped by the royal physician, a German named Johann Friedrich Struensee, who also takes over Christian's teenage bride, Caroline Mathilde of England, and impregnates her. Events go downhill from there, culminating in the torture and death of Struensee who, for all his excesses, was a genuine liberal reformer. A New York Times Notable Book for 2001.
