About the book
"In 1839, on the basis of a single mysterious fragment of bone from the other side of the world, the great English anatomist Richard Owen reached the conclusion that it came from an unknown gigantic flightless bird. Despite this being shortly before it is time of Darwin and the great evolution debate, many initially thought Owen's claim preposterous. A huge new bird that couldn't fly? Like an ostrich? Ridiculous!"--Jacket.
First sentence: By the middle of the 18th century London had overtaken Paris and Constantinople to become the largest city in the world.
