Chicago's Dinosaurs at the Field Museum

Peter L. Crane

Published to coincide with the centennial of Philippine independence (declared on June 12, 1898), this lavishly illustrated, full-color book celebrates the extraordinary diversity of life found in the Philippine rain forest. This forest is home to one of the greatest concentrations of unique species of terrestrial vertebrates of any place on earth—more than 510 unique species are found here. Unfortunately, nearly half of the mammals and birds are endangered; acre for acre, the Philippines may have the world's most seriously threatened flora and fauna. Vanishing Treasures of the Philippine Rain Forest relates how this profusion of life came to exist in the islands, and explains why the imminent destruction of this forest threatens not only its unique plants and animals but also the economic and social well-being of the Philippine nation. Profusely illustrated with full-color photographs, maps, and drawings, this book identifies crucial steps the Filipino people must take to protect both their magnificent natural heritage and their country's future.

Founded in 1893, Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History initially held items from the World's Columbian Exposition. Today the Museum houses more than 20 million objects, from Egyptian mummies and Chinese jade carvings to Tyrannosaurus rex bones and Martian meteorites. This lively and beautifully illustrated guidebook provides an excellent starting point from which to explore the Museum, yet holds plenty of surprises for the veteran museum-goer. For instance, among the sixty objects described in this book is the skeleton of Parasaurolophus cyrtocristatus. Excavated in 1923, this specimen was not really "discovered" until the 1950s, when a visiting scientist realized that it represented a previously unknown species. Other entries relate fascinating archeological mysteries or give behind-the-scenes glimpses into how the Museum's exhibits are created. Each of the sixty objects discussed is keyed to both a floor plan of the Museum and a map of the world. An excellent gift for visitors to Chicago and a must for anyone planning to tour this world-class museum.
