Without going overboard with detail, it presents all the important facts and more. It provides good history leading up to the controversy. Finally, this one has very interesting photos of the actual areas where these fossils were discovered so the aspect of topography/geology is clearer.This helped me visualize the collecting scenes better. Also, it's out of print and available for a song right now. Excellent book! Written by a professor who grew up in one of the areas where the fossils are found and he really knows his stuff."; 8.7 X 6.1 X 0.9 inches; 285 pages .
