However, the second Jurassic dinosaur rush, which took place around the turn of the twentieth century, brought the prehistoric beasts back to life. These later expeditions—involving new competitors from leading natural history museums in New York, Chicago, and Pittsburgh—yielded specimens that would be reconstructed into the colossal skeletons that thrill visitors today in museum halls across the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReconsidering the fossil speculation, the museum displays, and the media frenzy that ushered dinosaurs into the American public consciousness, Paul Brinkman takes us back to the birth of \u003ci\u003edinomania\u003c\/i\u003e, the modern obsession with all things Jurassic. Featuring engaging and colourful personalities and motivations both altruistic and ignoble, \u003ci\u003eThe Second Jurassic Dinosaur Rush\u003c\/i\u003e shows that these later expeditions were just as foundational—if not more so—to the establishment of paleontology and the budding collections of museums than the more famous Cope and Marsh treks. With adventure, intrigue, and rivalry, this is science at its most swashbuckling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471827747052,"sku":"9780226752167","price":81.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/4488956ded1741835d9ba8060c3049b2.jpg?v=1775694188"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/paul-d-brinkman.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
