Another Good New Book

["Steve Brusatte" <dinoland@lycos.com>]

Hey all,
It's nice to see that HP Greg Paul's new book has been released.  I was able to 
catch a "sneak peak" at it this weekend at a bookstore, and hopefully my copy 
will arrive soon.

There is another good, relatively new book that, to my knowledge, has not been 
mentioned yet onlist.  Bone Wars, which I believe was published towards the end 
of last year, focuses on Andrew Carnegie's _Diplodocus_: its excavation, 
preparating, mounting, and celebrity.  It is written by a Wyoming journalist, 
Tom Rea, and his journalistic skills make the narrative a quick and enjoyable 
read.

I especially liked how the text focused on some colorful paleontological 
characters that are often overlooked in the obligatory Marsh and Cope books, 
including W.H. Reed and Jacob Wortman.  A nice background of Holland and 
Hatcher is also given.  All in all, this is a very good book that focuses on 
the history of paleontology.

Steve
