Summary, etc |
When Barnum Brown unearthed the first Tyrannosaurus Rex fossils in the Montana wilderness, it forever changed the world of paleontology. Henry Fairfield Osborn saw a path to save his museum from irrelevancy. With four-foot-long jaws capable of crushing the bones of its prey and hips that powered the animal to run at speeds of 25 miles per hour, the T. Rex suggested a prehistoric ecosystem more complex than anyone at the time had imagined. As the public turned out in droves to cower before this bone-chilling giant of the past and wonder at the mysteries of its disappearance, Brown and Osborn together turned dinosaurs from a biological oddity into a beloved part of culture. Randall journeys from prehistory to present day, from remote Patagonia to the unforgiving badlands of the American West to the penthouses of Manhattan, with a cast of robber barons, eugenicists, and opportunistic cowboys. He reveals how a monster of a bygone era ignited a new understanding of our planet and our place within it. -- adapted from jacket |
