Book review: ‘The Dinosaur Hunters’ by Deborah Cadbury

‘The Dinosaur Hunters’ by Deborah Cadbury

A highly entertaining book about the early days of British paleontology, concentrating mainly on the rival figures of Gideon Mantell and Richard Owen.

Note: The American title for this book is Terrible Lizard: The First Dinosaur Hunters and the Birth of a New Science.
