Battle of the Dinosaur Bones: Othniel Charles Marsh vs Edward Drinker Cope

64 pp. | Twenty-First Century | November, 2012 | Library ISBN 978-0-7613-5488-8 $33.27
(4) YA Scientific Rivalries and Scandals series. Marsh and Cope, each determined to be seen as the greatest paleontologist, became bitter enemies in their race to discover and name prehistoric species. Hastily prepared papers, deception, and a public feud discredited their reputations as professionals and scientists, yet future paleontologists would benefit from the number of species they discovered. Archival photographs, sidebars, and diagrams extend the narrative but contribute to a cramped design. Reading list, timeline, websites. Bib., glos., ind.
