«The Dragon Seekers» is Christopher McGowan's essay on the history of science, published by Little Brown in hardback (384 pages, in English).
Canadian zoologist Christopher McGowan reconstructs how a circle of self-taught nineteenth-century fossil hunters, including Mary Anning, found dinosaur species and laid the foundations for Darwin's theories. The book shows their difficulties in the face of religious orthodoxy and the disdain of academic science, and how their discoveries expanded the history of life on Earth.
For readers interested in paleontology, the history of science, and the origins of evolutionary theory.
