Produktbeschreibung

The first book in the Unhinged History series is a ripping yarnâfull of adventure and deceitâthat brings to life the best-known public spat in all of paleontology: the bitter rivalry between Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh. This frenzy of discovery and one-upmanshipâknown today as the Bone Warsâwas a gold rushâlike scramble to find the most and "best" dinosaur fossils, thus bringing to glory to their respective home-base universities. Lively and witty rhymes plus wonderfully demented illustrations reveal how the paleontologists' infamous rivalry began, and howâdespite making genuine and lasting contributions to the fieldâtheir mutual obsession with outdoing one another spun out of control.
