Quest for the African Dinosaurs: Ancient Roots of the Modern World

A leading American paleontologist--the only one doing significant work in Africa--chronicles his watershed discoveries in a book of great lucidity, erudition, and charm. In 1981, Jacobs uncovered a major fossil site in the Luwonya Hills, and now he uses his achievements to show how excavations are accomplished and make eyebrow-raising speculations. 42 illustrations.
