Book Discussion: Dinosaurs At The Dinner Party by Edward Dolnick

Book Discussion: Dinosaurs At The Dinner Party by Edward Dolnick In-Person

"Dinosaurs at the Dinner Party" by Edward Dolnick tells the story of how Victorians in the early 1800s discovered dinosaur bones, which led to a revolutionary shift in understanding human history and the Earth's age. The book focuses on a group of eccentric scientists and fossil hunters, including Mary AnningWilliam Buckland, and Richard Owen, who pieced together the story of dinosaurs from fossil evidence. It explores the initial shock and wonder of finding these prehistoric creatures, contrasting it with the previously held belief of a stable, divinely ordered natural world.
