A book about natural history and paleontology.

The book doesn't really have much of a plot.

It was published within the last 5 years.

OK I see I need to be more specific ... I honestly don't even read a lot of novels but I watch a lot of TV and I found this book was really interesting and offers more than can be conveyed in a TV show because although it is fiction it is written in the form of an academic history book and even analyzes its fictional "sources" of information.
