This fascinating book is not only about the Age of Reptiles and the lumbering dragons who inhabited that eerie world, but it is also about some of those interesting people who, millions of years later, found and identified their remains. Here is both the drama and the humour involved in searching for their bones; here, too, is the painstaking detective work that goes into reconstructing their shapes and environments.
