"The theory that dinosaurs have evolved into birds has sent science writer Wayne Grady on a globetrotting fossil hunt with brush and pick in hand. In The Bone Museum, Grady follows vertebrate paleontologist Phil Currie, one of the world's leading proponents of the bird-dinosaur connection, on a journey in search of answers to the question: Is there life after extinction?" "Living in tents and experiencing the drudgery of fieldwork as well as the thrill of discovery, Grady recounts his journeys with great detail, clarity, and a storyteller's sense of narrative. Through frustrations, blisters, blinding wind storms, rain and mud, to the ultimate glimpse of bone, his tales offer a compelling blend of adventurous travel and intellectual quest."--BOOK JACKET.
