From their discovery in the 19th century to the dawn of the Nuclear
Age, dinosaurs were seen in popular culture as ambassadors of the
geological past and as icons of the ""life through time"" narrative
of evolution. They took on a more foreboding character during the
Cold War, serving as a warning to mankind with the advent of the
hydrogen bomb. As fears of human extinction escalated during the
ecological movement of the 1970s, dinosaurs communicated their
metaphorical message of extinction, urging us from our destructive
path. Using an eclectic variety of examples, this book outlines the
three-fold ""evolution"" of dinosaurs and other prehistoric
monsters in pop culture, from their poorly understood beginnings to
the 21st century.
