The story of two nineteenth-century scientists who revealed one of the most significant events in the natural history of this planet: the existence of dinosaurs.
In ‘The Dinosaur Hunters’ Deborah Cadbury brilliantly recreates the remarkable story of the bitter rivalry between two men: Gideon Mantell uncovered giant bones in a Sussex quarry, became obsessed with the lost world of the reptiles and was driven to despair. Richard Owen, a brilliant anatomist, gave the extinct creatures their name and secured for himself unrivalled international acclaim.

En mycket fascinerande berättelse om männen och kvinnorna bakom upptäckten av dinosaurierna, med maktkamp och intriger, om dedikerad vetenskapsmän/kvinnor och deras nytänkande kreativa tolkningar av en tidigare helt okänd typ av djur. Läsvärd!
