What We Are Reading Today: The Monster’s Bones

Author: David K. Randall
 

David K. Randall’s The Monster’s Bones is a gripping narrative of a fearless paleontologist, the founding of America’s most loved museums, and the race to find the largest dinosaurs on record.

The book reveals how a monster of a bygone era, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, with its four-foot-long jaws capable of crushing the bones of its prey and hips that powered the animal to run at speeds of 25 miles per hour, ignited a new understanding of our planet and our place within it.

Readers will find the vivid and engaging as it journeys from prehistory to present day, from remote Patagonia to the unforgiving badlands of the American West to the penthouses of Manhattan.
