Edward Drinker Cope was a charming man with a passion for old bones. Othniel Marsh was a stickler for procedure when he studied his fossil finds. They started as friends, sharing ideas and information, but after Marsh tried to poach Cope's digging site, they became bitter enemies. Their decades-long feud fueled their desire to dig up more bones, to discover new species, and to find ever bigger and more unusual dinosaurs. Through their competition, the two men laid a far-reaching foundation for the brand-new field of palentology.

A fascinating story told with an engaging narrative technique, and well complemented by period photographs and drawings, a map, a time line, and an author's note.

James W. Derry

A SMALL SUMMARY OF COPE & MARSH

Reviewed in Canada on 23 February 2012

Verified Purchase

This is a book for young students and should not be mistaken for anything useful to an adult. It is a brief, good, summary of the Cope/Marsh story. Only 118 pages, in small format, with a lot of photos of the period. It does contain a Bibliography for further reading.

Well written and illustrated

Reviewed in the United States on 6 April 2013

Verified Purchase

It is difficult for students who have grown up in the internet and computer age to understand the interplay of field work and turning it into the printed word. Add the fierce rivalry and competition between two brilliant men and you have a story that helps younger students see that scientists often act just like players in recess ball games.

A basic primer on one of history's nastiest scientific fights

Verified Purchase

Not too detailed but enough for a good overall historic perspective. Clearly written.
