Dinosaur Bone War: Cope and Marsh's Fossil Feud

116 pp. | Random | December, 2006 | Library ISBN 0-375-91349-1 $11.99 | Paper ISBN 0-375-81349-7 $5.99
(4) 4-6 Landmark Books series. This book tells the intriguing--and ugly--true story of two paleontologists who virtually created the field of study. Cope and Marsh were so intent on outdoing each other they would do anything, even destroy specimens, to prevent the other's success. In this somewhat moralistic volume, readers learn not just about dinosaurs but also about the seamier side of scientific pursuit.
