Dinosaur bones had been found centuries before scientists understood what they were and which creatures they belonged to. Ancient Chinese texts spoke of "dragon bones," while large fossils discovered in the United Kingdom were thought to belong to human giants. Only through the exploration and careful research of generations of brave paleontologists was the truth about dinosaurs revealed. The book "The Dinosaur Hunters" tells the story of those who discovered the life of prehistory and the revelations that came from their research. Illustrated with 30 rare documents, photographs, and handwritten sketches, it explores the discovery of Iguanodon teeth, the discovery of the first flying dinosaur, the infamous Bone Wars, and Dr. Mark Norell's groundbreaking study of feathered dinosaurs. It is a story of bold exploits, luck, science and adventure, as well as the fascinating lives and work of heroic scientists and explorers.
