Abstract
A timely publication as “Dippy”, The Natural History Museum, London’s Diplodocus skeleton, was recently dismantled to make way for a blue whale skeleton called “Hope”, and has been on a diplomatic tour the length and breadth of the UK. The visit to Glasgow was a great success, and the tour had its millionth visitor whilst there. It might surprise some folk that Dippy was so popular in Glasgow since part of Dippy has been on display here at The Hunterian, University of Glasgow, for nearly a century. Ilja NIEUWLAND. American Dinosaur Abroad: A Cultural History of Carnegie’s Plaster Diplodocus. University of Pittsburgh Press, Pittsburgh: 2019. xvii, 318 pp.; illustrated. Price US$36.00, £30.96 (hardback).
