Description:
In Taking Wing, Pat Shipman tells the inside story of how a 150-million-year-old fossil revealing the characteristics of a small dinosaur -- but bearing the impression of a single feather -- became the center of a heated debate about evolution. Written in an elegant and accessible style, it is filled with anecdotes about rivalries within the scientific community and the persistent challenges of anti-evolutionists. Taking Wing will captivate readers of popular science -- and everyone entranced by dinosaurs.
