Description
Advance Praise
"Astute and entertaining... Randall carefully outlines the shifts in scientific understanding prompted by the appearance of [the T. Rex], and he makes a persuasive case for its profound impact on our conception of the history of life on Earth... An absorbing account of early dinosaur discoveries and their cultural legacies." ―Kirkus Reviews
"The Monster's Bones is such an irresistibly good read and such a compellingly smart book. David Randall takes his tale of fossil-hunting and museum building and deepens it into something more―a story in which both the long-vanished dinosaurs and the humans who discover them are equally dangerous in their own unique ways." ―Deborah Blum, bestselling author of The Poisoner's Handbook
"A spectacular yarn of science and adventure, The Monster's Bones takes us back to the birth of paleontology, when a Kansas farm boy made the find of a century―and a wealthy racist in New York tried to exploit it. Randall has excavated a classic, a story every bit as big and head-spinning as the T. Rex at its center." ―Jason Fagone, bestselling author of The Woman Who Smashed Codes
