A historical review of the most important scientific controversies
that have shaped our knowledge of dinosaurs since the discovery of
important fossils in the 1820s. In The Great Dinosaur Controversy:
A Guide to the Debates, the major scientific disputes that have
contributed to the understanding of dinosaurs come to light. Each
chapter presents a major controversy then ponders the lessons
learned and their impact on the scientific field. Colorful
characters such as "anti-evolutionist" Robert Owen, "Darwin's
bulldog," T.H. Huxley, and "dinosaur heretic" Robert Bakker,
enliven the debates, which range from the origin of dinosaurs and
their posture to their evolution or retrogression and whether they
were warm- or cold-blooded. Two of the most recent debates concern
how dinosaurs became extinct and whether or not birds are their
descendents. Introductory chapter on the role of controversy in
science focusing on the contributions of scientists such as Edward
Cope and T. H. Huxley Illustrations of the major figures involved
in the debates
