The Dinosaur Papers, 1676-1906, 2003, 424 p., 84 ill. n.b., rel. -

This unique collection is a journey of discovery through one of the most exciting periods of science. Here is the history of paleontology, spanning from the discovery of the first dinosaur by R. Plot to the discovery and classification of T.rex. What makes this collection truly unique is that the editors have included translations of classic European papers, giving their story a global focus. The artwork is outstanding, containing all the classic dinosaur sketches, including the "missing link" between dinosaurs and birds: Archeopteryx.
