This collection is a journey of discovery through one of the most exciting periods of science. Here is the history of paleontology, spanning from the discovery of the first dinosaur bone by Robert Plot (which he mistook as a leg bone from an extinct race of giant humans) to the discovery and classification of T. rex. The editors have included translations of classic European papers, giving their story a global focus. Each section of the book is accompanied by a commentary from by the editors that puts each paper in context. The artwork is outstanding, containing all the classic dinosaur sketches including the missing link- Archaeopteryx.
