Prakash Shenoy's Diary

 

The book is a good example of scientific classic which survived a hundred years. In the crowded world of millions of books published and then forgotten in the darkness of libraries, some shine like a star and survive for centuries. This book is similar one written by the famous author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle famous for Sherlock Holmes in the year 1912.The author was charismatic in his ideas as we can see the stories of Sherlock Holmes and his ways of cracking crimes still amuses people. In the year 1912, when the Europe was a boiling pot ripe for two great wars and was riding on great colonialization experience and exploration of new worlds. It was not surprise that everyone was in search of wealthy India or el dorado in south America. The fossils of the Jurassic era were new and a lot of theories were prevailing regarding evolution of earth and man. The idea that the creatures that ruled the earth millions of year ago could still be surviving somewhere in the darkness of Amazon jungle
