Omschrijving

The true, personal, behind-the-scenes account of paleontology's most dramatic adventure!

This is it: The only first-hand account of the most storied chapter in paleontological history--expanded in this second edition with 100 additional pages. Released more than twenty years after the first edition, this volume brings both a riveting personal story and the cutting edge of T. rex science. Peter Larson, team leader of the field crew that's dug more T. rex than anyone else, reveals what he's contributed to hunting, restoring, and researching dinosaurs--over his now seven decades of experience.

Both OG paleo fans and new generation of enthusiasts have a chance to explore the updated personal drama that occurred when the most famous rex ever, Sue, was seized by the FBI, changing Larson's international headlines from science to politics. The first edition of this story inspired Todd Douglas Miller's 2014 Emmy Award^(R)-winning documentary, Dinosaur 13--which featured both authors on screen.

However, this second edition also fills in "what happened next"--with revealing tales behind the next crop of headlines in Larson's life. Learn about the second-best rex, Stan, and yet another jaw-dropping lawsuit--as well as Larson's work to help government agencies and courts to create fair and proper permitting processes for field paleontologists.

This is what really happened to this champion of the past--a man who never lost his faith, and the goals he continues to work toward--all for the love of science. This is a book about passion and persistence; if you love dinosaurs, this book is a true inspiration.
