Sam Chiarelli's Dig: A Personal Prehistoric Journey explores why we're so fascinated with dinosaurs and why some people--dinophiles--never outgrow their Mesozoic obsession. Dig follows Sam on a cross-country Amtrak trip with a final destination of a fossil dig in Colorado. Buried within these pages are encounters in museums big and small, prep labs, robotic dinosaur parks, and prehistoric themed hotels--and interviews with many of Sam's childhood heroes: paleontologists, artists, and others who've dedicated their lives to revealing the distant past. Part science and nature adventure and part memoir, this book is all dinosaur.
