- Architects of Eternity: The new science of fossils
The way fossils have been interpreted and classified in the past often tells us more about the political and moral agendas of the personalities involved than it does about prehistory. But it is to these larger-than-life personalities — from Othniel Marsh and Edward Drinker Cope battling it out in the wildernesses of 19thC Wyoming right up to the feuds of scientists today — that we owe our knowledge about the origins of life on earth. 338 pages

Extinction is vital to the evolutionary process. Relatively mild extinction events are typically followed by the evolution of new species and genera. Larger, more inter-regional extinctions, with their greater effects on number and size of groups that disappear, have correspondingly greater effects on subsequent evolution.

- Discovering Dinosaurs in the Old West: The Field Journals of Arthur Lakes
In its earliest days, vertebrate paleontology was dominated by two competitive scientists, O.C. Marsh and Edward Drinker Cope, each straining to excavate more dinosaur fossils from newfound sites in Colorado and Wyoming. Arthur Lakes—teacher, writer, artist, and ordained minister, as well as a trained geologist—made some of the most extraordinary of the Marsh team's discoveries. Lakes's field journals record his participation between 1877 and 1880 in these two early, influential dinosaur digs unearthing the enormous vertebrae, femurs, humeri, ribs, teeth and claws of apatosaurus, stegosaurus, and allosaurus. 198 pages.
