Description
"For more than 100 years, we have been fascinated by dinosaurs. What did they look like? How did they live? Why did they die out? And how do we know so much about them?" "Bone Wars presents a cultural history of the early years of paleontology at the turn of the last century. With the help of contemporary newspaper stories, early scientific articles and essays, and letters found in scattered archives, Tom Rea re-creates a remarkable story of hubris, hope, and late Victorian science."--BOOK JACKET.
