<p><b><i>Impossible Monsters</i> is the captivating story of the discovery of the dinosaurs and how it upended our understanding of the origins of the world.</b><br><br><b>‘An astonishing book about an extraordinary subject'</b> PETER FRANKOPAN<br><b>'As thrilling as it is sweeping'</b> TOM HOLLAND<br><b>'This book dazzles in its originality . . . a triumph’ </b>SATHNAM SANGHERA<br><br>SHORTLISTED FOR THE DUFF COOPER PRIZE 2025<br><br>In 1811, a twelve-year-old girl uncovered some strange-looking bones in Britain’s southern shoreline - and so sparked a crisis that would engulf science and religion for the next six decades. By its end, the literal reading of the Bible had been overturned, science had been liberated from religion and the secular age had begun. <i>Impossible Monsters </i>takes us into the lives and minds of the extraordinary men and women whose discovery of the dinosaurs revolutionised our understanding of the world, as well as those who resisted them and those, like Charles Darwin, who took great risks to construct a new account of the earth’s and mankind’s origins. It is the riveting story of a group of people who dared to think impossible things and then showed them to be true.<br><br><b>‘Truly marvellous ... an intellectual thriller’ </b>RICHARD HOLMES<br><b>‘A stunning work ... of surprises and revelations’</b> STEVE BRUSATTE</p>
