註釋"Bones of Contention tells a story not just about a fossil but about the lengths to which people will go to prove themselves right. Sometimes the consequences are funny, often they are disastrous or tragic, but they are never dull. This is the first book to look not only at the life and times of Archaeopteryx but also at the chaotic scientific world into which it emerged. From Victorian bravado to the modern-day media, the meaning and relevance of the humble fossil have changed continually with the times, holding up a mirror to ideals of science, and attitudes to natural history and the material world. It offers insight into the way scientists can really behave in public and behind closed doors."--BOOK JACKET.
