With four-foot-long jaws capable of crushing the bones of its prey and hips that powered the animal to run at speeds of 25 miles per hour, the T. Rex suggests a prehistoric ecosystem more complex than anyone imagined. As the public turns out in droves to cower before this bone-chilling giant of the past and wonder at the mysteries of its disappearance, Brown and Osborn together turn dinosaurs from a biological oddity into a beloved part of culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVivid and engaging,  The Monster’s Bones  journeys from prehistory to present day, from remote Patagonia to the unforgiving badlands of the American West to the penthouses of Manhattan. With a wide-ranging cast of robber barons, eugenicists, and opportunistic cowboys,  New York Times  best-selling author David K. Randall reveals how a monster of a bygone era ignited a new understanding of our planet and our place within it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":52835876929752,"sku":"YSL58781","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0835\/3356\/2072\/files\/91KgfeLW1WL._SY1500.jpg?v=1793264378","url":"https:\/\/www.bookmebay.com\/products\/b09kmd26y6","provider":"BookMebay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
