註釋R. T. Bird, as he was called, made spectacular finds of dinosaur remains in the West during the 1930s. In later years he recalled the excitement of the finds; the dangers, frustrations, and fun of the camps; the brilliance of Brown, for many years curator of vertebrate paleontology of the American Museum of Natural History; and the drudgery of assembling the fragments to create some of the most spectacular displays in the world. Bird was a natural writ erdirect, understated, often witty. A concise introduction to vertebrate paleontology, careful editing, and skillful captioning under the many photographs and drawings contribute to a lively volume for anyone interested in fossil-hunting in general and dinosaurs in particular. -Library Journal.
