Quest for the African Dinosaurs: Ancient Roots of the Modern World
A leading American paleontologist records the landmark discoveries he has made on the continent of Africa, addressing, at the same time, many provocative questions about the world of paleontology in general. A enterprising editor might have boosted sales of this fine book using a different title. Steve Gould's Panda's Thumbs and Flamingo's Smiles do well. Jacobs' depiction of his search for African dinosaur fossils deserves no less.
