Dinosaurs and All That Rubbish

1972Michael Foreman

4.8/5

This is a book that fearlessly exposes the hitherto unexposed connections between rubbish, the endless tons of domestic and commercial waste that we produce, and dinosaurs.Essentially it is like that classic documentary \ One Million Years BC\ , but with better dinosaurs, more rubbish and without Raquel Welsh, or indeed anybody else in furry underwear. Or perhaps it is a children's picture book in which dinosaurs rise up from beneath the earth to sweep up and dispose of all the rubbish that humanity has produced and the ruins of our industrial society. Then, since dinosaurs are apparently keen gardeners, they turn our plant into a lush paradise, that is somewhat implausibly suitable for both people and dinosaurs to enjoy in harmony, with neither people being eaten nor Sauropod eggs for breakfast(view spoiler)[ in my memory there was an extensive series of pictures showing dinosaurs sweeping rubbish into volcanoes, ripping out motorways like so much old carpet, however upon re-inspection it proved that my imagination had substantially embellished the original in my memory (hide spoiler)]
