How to build a dinosaur.
This book addresses the simple but exhilarating proposition: 'if an insect which had bitten a dinosaur 85 million years ago had been preserved in amber, could modern scientists extract the DNA from the insect and use it to clone a dinosaur?'
Written in a way that is both authoritative and highly entertaining, The Science of Jurassic Park examines the scientific ideas that underpin the massively successful film.
Readers learn where to search for amber from the dinosaur age (hint: New Jersey or the Baltic States); how to identify DNA; and how a cloned dinosaur would learn to behave if none of its kind were around to teach it.
