Product Information
The so-called "Bone Wars" of the 1880s, which pitted Edward Drinker Cope against Othniel Charles Marsh in a frenzy of fossil collection and discovery, may have marked the introduction of dinosaurs to the American public, but the second Jurassic dinosaur rush, which took place around the turn of the twentieth century, brought the prehistoric beasts back to life. These later expeditions--which involved new competitors hailing from leading natural history museums in New York, Chicago, and Pittsburgh--yielded specimens that would be reconstructed into the colossal skeletons that thrill visitors today in museum halls across the country. Reconsidering the fossil speculation, the museum displays, and the media frenzy that ushered dinosaurs into the American public consciousness, Paul Brinkman takes us back to the birth of dinomania , the modern obsession with all things Jurassic. Featuring engaging and colorful personalities and motivations both altruistic and ignoble, The Second Jurassic Dinosaur Rush shows that these later expeditions were just as foundational--if not more so--to the establishment of paleontology and the budding collections of museums than the more famous Cope and Marsh treks. With adventure, intrigue, and rivalry, this is science at its most swashbuckling.

In the years around 1900, major U.S. museums raced to find the best and biggest dinosaurs and put them on display. It was a decisive decade for paleontology, when the public first got a spectacular view of the strangeness of the prehistoric world, and dinomania first took off. Based on thorough archival research, this is a fascinating story of ambitious administrators and scientists, their moneyed patrons, and the often invisible technicians and fieldworkers on whom the whole project depended., "In the years around 1900, major U.S. museums raced to find the best and biggest dinosaurs and put them on display.

Highly recommended."- Choice , "[ The Second Jurassic Dinosaur Rush ] explores an exciting period in paleontological history and the many intrigues that accompanied this frenzy of paleontological research. . . . Highly recommended."- Choice, Brinkman paints an intricate portrait of paleontological fieldwork. No doubt, the author's own field experience helped to lend richness to his descriptions of day-to-day practice., Excellent and extraordinarily detailed. . . . What does this book do for the field of historical paleontology in general? It really raises the bar, plumbing an enormous quantity of source material and expertly weaving a story of scientific discovery, egos, personalities, and museum politics with that of a changing socioeconomic and academic landscape. Brinkman's book will serve as an important resource for people interested in the history of Jurassic dinosaur research, in the lives and careers of such fossil hunters and scientists as Wortman, Reed, Osborn, Hatcher, Riggs and so on, in the history of how fossils are represented to the public, and in how American museums were shaped by the personal and political motivations of those behind the scenes. . . . Wow, what a thorough job., This well-written volume reads like a thriller and will fascinate any reader. . . . These real field collectors make fictional characters like Indiana Jones look like an armchair theoretician., A detailed example of how superlative specimens have played essential roles in museum reputation and identity., Brinkman provides a flood of new data on American fossil collecting in a book that reads more like an Old West novel than a historical monograph. . . . Impressively researched. . . . A valuable contribution to the history of paleontology., Comprehensive and accessible. . . . From daily camp life to museum politics, Brinkman has ably documented a time of major change in dinosaur science, one that provides the context for paleontology as we know it today., Ever wonder why the great museums of New York City, Pittsburgh, and Chicago are filled with Jurassic dinosaurs? Brinkman's account looks at when early dinomania spurred museums to try to get the biggest and best dinosaurs for their displays, setting the foundation for exhibits that still stand today., "In the years around 1900, major U.S. museums raced to find the best and biggest dinosaurs and put them on display.
