In early July 1899, an excavation team of paleontologists sponsored by Andrew Carnegie discovered the fossil remains in Wyoming of what was then the longest and largest dinosaur on record. Named after its benefactor, the Diplodocus carnegii--or Dippy, as it's known today--was shipped to Pittsburgh and later mounted and unveiled at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in 1907. Carnegie's pursuit of dinosaurs in the American West and the ensuing dinomania of the late nineteenth century coincided with his broader political ambitions to establish a lasting world peace and avoid further international conflict. An ardent philanthropist and patriot, Carnegie gifted his first plaster cast of Dippy to the British Museum at the behest of King Edward VII in 1902, an impulsive diplomatic gesture that would result in the donation of at least seven reproductions to museums across Europe and Latin America over the next decade, in England, Germany, France, Austria, Italy, Russia, Argentina, and Spain. In this largely untold history, Ilja Nieuwland explores the influence of Andrew Carnegie's prized skeleton on European culture through the dissemination, reception, and agency of his plaster casts, revealing much about the social, political, cultural, and scientific context of the early twentieth century.Binding Type: Paperback

Good quality
Color: Croissant
The quality is good, the material is very hard and heavier than I expected. My dog is too smart for this. After the first time she figured out to just let it sit and melt then drink it up in 10 seconds.

The Best!
Color: Croissant
Out of all the stuffable, freezable dog treat toys I’ve tried over many years with several dogs, this one is #1! So easy to clean and freezing the little goodie cup that you insert in to the toy is so much easier than trying to stuff a small hole! The extra little grooves on the outside I fill with no sugar no salt peanut butter and my pup loves it! This is a heavier toy, so not sure how a small dog would do picking it up or carrying it around, but our 45 lb guy has no problem! Seems like it is very durable and just might last forever!
