Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Over centuries, discoveries of fossil bones spawned legends of monsters such as giants and dragons. As the field of earth sciences matured during the 19th century, early fossilists gained understanding of prehistoric creatures such as Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops and Stegosaurus. This historical study examines how these genuine beasts morphed in the public imagination into mythical, powerful engines of destruction and harbingers of cataclysm, taking their place in popular culture, film, and literature as symbols of lost worlds where time stands still.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"<i>Prehistoric Monsters</i> is an insightful, educational, and entertaining historical perspective on some of the most significant fossil beasts discovered in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries...an easy read, as well as being copiously illustrated with historical images and extensively cross-referenced. Students of paleohistory and paleoart as well as those interested in the evolving influence of paleontology on society will surely want to clear space on their bookshelves for a copy"--<i>Fossil News</i>; "if you are interested in the history of dinosaurs in popular culture, Debus is an author you simply cannot ignore...Debus does a huge service to those who work in the history of science"--<i>H-Net Reviews</i>.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Allen A. Debus</b> is a dinosaur sculptor and author of multiple books. He writes regularly for <i>Prehistoric Times, G-Fan, Mad Scientist</i> and <i>Scary Monsters</i>, and was a contributing editor of <i>Fossil News: Journal of Avocational Paleontology</i>.
