About this book

Dinosaur Hunters: A True Story of Scientific Rivalry and the Discovery of the Prehistoric by Cadbury, Deborah. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781857029598.

In "The Dinosaur Hunters" Deborah Cadbury recreates the remarkable story of the bitter rivalry between two men: Gideon Mantell uncovered giant bones in a Sussex quarry, became obsessed with the lost world of the reptiles and was driven to despair. Richard Owen, a brilliant anatomist, gave the extinct creatures their name and secured for himself unrivalled international acclaim.
