T rex Darwin and Adventures Out West Book PDF Summary
Tyrannosaurus rex is everyone’s favorite dinosaur, and in death it plays a central role in this book. But this work is about the voyage through college by eleven students, including their adventures out West with an inspirational Professor Goodspeed, nicknamed “Speedy.” Dubbing themselves “The Mélange,” a group of friends discover a T. rex skull that was stolen, triggering a scandal of international proportions. A mini-reunion for the Mélange is arranged, hoping that a fracas prior to graduation that scattered them will have faded from memories. It has, and the event is a great success. We learn about the Mélangers’ lives since graduation, and there are some surprises. T. rex, Darwin, and Adventures Out West includes aspects of science accessible to nonscientists, sprinkled with fascinating aspects of natural science in order to educate the reader about earth history and evolution. In the process, readers learn how to defend evolution against creationists. About the Author Steven M. Stanley is a paleontologist with an A.B. from Princeton, summa cum laude, and a Ph.D. from Yale.
