Title: The Science of Jurassic Park and the Lost World or, How to Build a Dinosaur
Description: London, HarperCollins. 1997, First Edition. (ISBN: 0002558939). Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 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. Very Good/Very Good.
