For Reverend William Buckland, an eccentric naturalist at Oxford University, the fossil remains of a creature that existed before Noah's flood inspired an attempt to prove the accuracy of the biblical record. Novelist Gideon Mantell also became obsessed with the ancient past, and eminent anatomist Richard Owen soon entered the fray, claiming credit for the discovery of the dinosaurs.<br><br>In a fast-paced narrative, <i>Terrible Lizard</i> re-creates the bitter feud between Mantell and Owen. Revealing a strange, awesome prehistoric era, their struggle set the stage for Darwin's shattering theories -- and for controversies that still rage today.<br></div> 1626067 2001 Terrible Lizard: The First Dinosaur Hunters and the Birth of a New Science total:4|5:2|4:1|3:1| 4 17 16 2 0 0 false false Mon Oct 26 17:49:06 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 26 17:49:19 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2003 Thu Aug 02 23:20:38 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 02 23:22:28 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Aug 29 13:43:02 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 29 13:43:02 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jul 18 17:04:33 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 18 17:04:33 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jun 15 04:03:42 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 15 04:03:43 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Jun 12 17:15:08 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 12 17:15:08 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun May 31 09:50:52 -0700 2009 Sun May 31 09:50:52 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Apr 08 20:17:44 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 08 20:17:44 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 21 15:50:41 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 21 15:50:41 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Oct 10 22:15:43 -0700 2008 Sun Oct 25 03:54:53 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Aug 23 21:29:28 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 23 21:29:28 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sat Jun 14 15:15:41 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 14 15:15:41 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sat Apr 26 08:53:22 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 26 08:53:29 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Mar 31 17:06:50 -0700 2008 Mon Mar 31 17:06:59 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sat Jan 19 12:31:44 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 19 12:31:52 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sun Dec 09 14:44:50 -0800 2007 Sun Dec 09 14:45:23 -0800 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1631885
