Summary: Hapgood's long out of print book is now available
Review: As mentioned in the title, this book was not quite what was expected. The introduction by Childress was equivalent in length to Hapgood's portion, and contained little new information. It also contained some misinformation about the Zuiyo-maru carcass.As for Hapgood's portion, a more complete analysis of the mystery figures was expected. The presentation was quite generic with few specific examples of the reasoning behind his belief thst dinosaurs survived until recently.

Summary: Challenging, controvsersial, thought-provoking reading.
Review: Mystery In Acambaro is a detailed and illustrated account of an unusual collection of ceramic figures discovered and assembled by the late Waldemar Julsrud in Acambaro, Mexico. If authentic, some of the figures would seem to indicate that dinosaurs survived in that part of the world into fairly recent times. This clay figures depict bizarre animals and scenes that don't fit neatly into traditional archaeology and paleontology theory, and therefore have been sumarily dismissed by mainstream scholarship as an elaborate hoax. But both Hapgood and Earle Stanley Gardner were convinced that the Acambaro figures were authentic artifacts, with very important implications for our understanding of dinosaurs and Central American human history. Highly recommended, challenging, controversial, very thought provoking reading.

Summary: Mystery in Acambaro
Review: Not what I expected. I was able to finish it in 2 hours. I really thought that more evidence would be presented to build a strong case for modern day dinosaurs.

Summary: One word: Flintstones
Review: The authors rely quite a bit on pictures drawn by an ancient culture, and not enough on physical evidence. If a future civilization were to discover a picture of the Flintstones, with both human and dinosaur characters, a similar book might be written claiming that dinosaurs lived in our time.
