A propos de cet article

First UK edition, First Printing. A clean and unmarked copy apart from a small name and date to front endpaper and age darkening to page edges with complete dustjacket. DeSalle is a curator at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and in 1992 isolated the then oldest known fragment of DNA whilst Lindley is a science editor. Following on the much vaunted Jurassic Park film which combined science with literary license, the authors explore the reality of getting a complete genetic blueprint of a long extinct creature and why a real Jurassic Park would have to be more than the film's 22 square mile preserve, more likely an area as big as the state of Connecticut. Illustrated with diagrams and photographs. D4B Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Synopsis

Discussing the scientific ideas behind the book and film "Jurassic Park", this text considers whether modern scientists could extract DNA from an insect, preserved in amber, that had bitten a dinosaur 85 million years ago and use it to clone a dinosaur.

Ingram

From two top scientists comes a fun and fascinating book that takes readers on a deliciously fun scientific romp into the far reaches of today's state-of-the-art science to explore the worlds of dinosaurs and DNA. Line drawings .
