The tale of the epic rivalry between two foundational
paleontologists to find bigger and better bones in the American
West, perfect for readers of Steve Sheinkin and Candace Fleming.
Today we take for granted the idea that dinosaurs once roamed the
earth. But two hundred years ago, the very concept of an extinct
species did not exist. When an English scientist proposed in 1841
that Dino Saurs (terrible lizards) had come and gone, it was only a
theory, a new way of explaining the dragon and giant bones
scattered across the globe. But when proof turned up seventeen
years later, it was not only incontrovertible; it was massive.
Tooth and Claw tells the story of the feverish race between two
brilliant, driven, and insanely competitive scientists--Edward
Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh--to uncover more and more
monstrous fossils in the newly opened Wild West. Between them, they
discovered dozens of major dinosaur species and established the new
discipline of paleontology in America. But their bitter thirty-year
rivalry--a war waged on wild plains and mountains, in tabloid
newsprint, and in Congress--dramatically wrecked their professional
and private lives even as it brought alive for the public a
vanished prehistoric world.
