Sticks 'n' Stones 'n' Dinosaur Bones: Being a Whimsical Take on a (Pre)Historical Event

By Ted Enik

Book Overview

The first book in the Unhinged History series is a ripping yarn--full of adventure and deceit--that brings to life the best-known public spat in all of paleontology: the bitter rivalry between Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh. This frenzy of discovery and one-upmanship--known today as the Bone Wars--was a gold rush-like scramble to find the most and "best" dinosaur fossils, thus bringing to glory to their respective home-base universities. Lively and witty rhymes plus wonderfully demented illustrations reveal how the paleontologists' infamous rivalry began, and how--despite making genuine and lasting contributions to the field--their mutual obsession with outdoing one another spun out of control.
