REVIEWS

“Langton’s clear, precise, British-accented narration makes the occasionally technical information easy to absorb. He readily conveys McGowan’s passionate regard for his subject and his obvious frustration with the limitations placed on the discoveries because of biblical interpretations.”—Booklist

“Stuart Langton's reading is admirably straightforward. He speaks clearly, seems comfortable with reptilian nomenclature, and tells the story in a full-speed-ahead manner.”—AudioFile

“Everyone knows about dinosaurs, but few appreciate the intertwining of their discovery and the advent of Darwin’s theory of evolution. McGowan’s wonderful book offers up the historical struggle of the scientists who turned dinosaurs into living creatures and who championed evolution to explain their place in antiquity. What a great read!”—David B. Weishampel, Johns Hopkins University

“Seldom have I been so captivated by a historical treatment. I couldn’t put The Dragon Seekers down. It’s all there—history, humor, philosophy, science, and the romance of discovery—in a well-written package that shows science doesn’t have to be dry and boring.”—Philip Currie, Royal Tyrell Museum of Paleontology
