A Riddle Well-Explained

This is a fascinating and well-written account of the history of the paleontological exploration and research carried on in the past century on dinosaur fossils. Readable, as many such are not, well-illustrated, and full of wonderful tales and anecdotes, it is a pleasure to read and own. I wish I had the dj for my copy.
