Paperback. Zustand: Good. A "fierce [and] funny" (Entertainment Weekly) collection of fourteen stories exploring humanity's wild side, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Tortilla Curtain "Whether Boyle is breaking your heart or making you laugh, you just don't care because he is so darned good at it."--San Francisco Chronicle   The fourteen stories gathered here display Boyle's imaginative muscle, emotional sensitivity, and astonishing range. There are whimsical tales, including "Swept Away," which tells of a female ornithologist who falls in love on the blustery island of Unst, and "The Kind Assassin," about a bored and loveless radio shock jock who sets the world record for most continuous hours without sleep--and who may never sleep again. In the title story, a young man must contend with a vicious feral cat from Africa that he won in a bar bet. And in "Dogology," a young woman in suburban New England becomes so obsessed with man's best friend that she begins to lose her own identity to a pack of strays.   Muscular, provocative, and blurring the boundaries between humans and nature, the funny and the shocking, Tooth and Claw is Boyle at his best.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. The tale of the epic rivalry between two foundational paleontologists to find bigger and better bones in the American West, perfect for readers of Steve Sheinkin and Candace Fleming. Today we take for granted the idea that dinosaurs once roamed the earth. But two hundred years ago, the very concept of an extinct species did not exist. When an English scientist proposed in 1841 that Dino Saurs (terrible lizards) had come and gone, it was only a theory, a new way of explaining the dragon and giant bones scattered across the globe. But when proof turned up seventeen years later, it was not only incontrovertible; it was massive. Tooth and Claw tells the story of the feverish race between two brilliant, driven, and insanely competitive scientists--Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh--to uncover more and more monstrous fossils in the newly opened Wild West. Between them, they discovered dozens of major dinosaur species and established the new discipline of paleontology in America. But their bitter thirty-year rivalry--a war waged on wild plains and mountains, in tabloid newsprint, and in Congress--dramatically wrecked their professional and private lives even as it brought alive for the public a vanished prehistoric world.…
