These later expeditions-which involved new competitors hailing 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 \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 colorful 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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-5357958\"\u003ePaul D.
