Experience the greatest breakthroughs in science, with the DK Science Stories series.
In 1870s America, two brilliant scientists, Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Marsh, are locked in a ruthless competition. They're not fighting over gold, but something much more incredible: dinosaur bones. This is the explosive true story of the Bone Wars, a period of fierce rivalry, daring expeditions, and astonishing discoveries that transformed our understanding of life on Earth.
From secret digs and stolen fossils to sabotage and public feuds, this is a story of scientific skulduggery and a ruthless quest to discover the most spectacular prehistoric creatures ever found. As the two teams raced across the American West, they unearthed iconic dinosaur fossils but left a trail of destruction in their wake.
