Dinosaurs of Darkness opens a doorway to a fascinating former
world, between 100 million and 120 million years ago, when
Australia was far south of its present location and joined to
Antarctica. Dinosaurs lived in this polar region. How were the
polar dinosaurs discovered? What do we now know about them? Thomas
H. Rich and Patricia Vickers-Rich, who have played crucial roles in
their discovery, describe how they and others collected the fossils
indispensable to our knowledge of this realm and how painstaking
laboratory work and analyses continue to unlock the secrets of the
polar dinosaurs. This scientific adventure makes for a fascinating
story: it begins with one destination in mind and ends at another,
arrived at by a most roundabout route, down byways and back from
dead ends. Dinosaurs of Darkness is a personal, absorbing account
of the way scientific research is actually conducted and how hard
and rewarding it is to mine the knowledge of this remarkable life
of the past. The award-winning first edition has been thoroughly
updated with the latest discoveries and interpretations, along with
over 100 new photographs and charts, many in color.
