From the Publisher:

“Chickens are fierce birds, and with their bright sharp eyes and scaly legs they always remind one of a lizard or (as I have studied them so much in later years) even a little Dinosaur. When looking at them now I can easily fancy a connecting link between the birds and the reptiles through the picture they present as they fight with each other or stalk about in search of food.”
-Charles R. Knight, ca. 1940

This insight, arrived at decades before paleontologists came to the same conclusion, shows how Knight—though he was legally blind—saw further back into pre-history and further forward into the scientific future than anyone else had ever done.

Charles R. Knight’s effect on popular culture unparalleled as well, and extends from before King Kong to beyond Jurassic Park. When you see dinosaurs and their world, you almost certainly see them through his eyes. Now, for the first time, you can read about his life and work in his own words. this previously unpublished autobiography will introduce you to his early years, his travels and accomplishments, and some of the amazing people who influenced him. You will also hear form those he influenced: The book features a foreword by Ray Bradbury and Ray Harryhausen, an introductory biography by William Stout (The New Dinosaurs), illustrations by Mark Schultz (Xenozoic Tales), and appreciations from noted scientists and Knight’s granddaughter Rhoda Knight Kalt.
