Review:
'This is a tale of intrigue and deception, of burning ambition and failed dreams. The bitter clashes between the men who dominated 19th- century geology are exquisitely portrayed by Deborah Cadbury in this scholarly yet exhilarating book.' Independent 'Cadbury is a wonderful writer, weaving natural history, human history and science together in a smooth, flowing tapestry that keeps you turning the pages as if her book were a thriller.' The Times 'Deborah Cadbury tells the extraordinary story of dinosaur hunters extraordinarily well... No other narrative I know illustrates the human element in scientific discovery quite so dramatically.' Richard Fortey, Evening Standard
