"The Monster's Bones - The Discovery Of T. Rex And How It Shook Our World
Just finished "The Monster's Bones - The Discovery Of T. Rex And How It Shook Our World" by David K. Randall, published by Norton Books.
Randall has written a fascinating history of the flawed men who advanced humanity's knowledge of dinosaurs by providing an unflinching look at how the Bone Wars impacted the emerging science of paleontology and how a Kansas farm boy by the name of Barnum Brown was able to break the stereotypical thinking of the age a little over a century ago where dinosaurs were thought to be lumbering herbivores who had no natural predators - until the discovery of the first T-Rex fossils shook up the world - just another example of why you shouldn't have science by consensus.
Highly Recommended Science History!
Ten Stars!
