Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
Gr. 5^-8. Since the early part of the twentieth century, the Gobi Desert, which stretches through Mongolia and China, has been the site of numerous archaeological digs, some of which have produced momentous results. This lively account chronicles the life of Roy Chapman Andrews, the first paleontologist to explore the riches of the Gobi. Andrews' findings, including the first discovery of dinosaur eggs in 1923, set the stage for unearthing many other secrets, including discoveries proving that some dinosaurs were more like birds than reptiles. Along with information about Andrews, Facklam explains how an expedition is planned and executed and how fossils are packed and shipped and handled in labs and museums. Black-and-white and color photos add a sense of the times and let readers have a look at the discoveries. This book is a must for dinosaur and fossil enthusiasts as well as budding paleontologists. Helen Rosenberg
From School Library Journal
Grade 5-8?This hard-to-put-down account fascinates on many counts. It is partially a biography of Roy Chapman Andrews, who led the first American expeditions to hunt for fossils in the Gobi Desert in the 1920s, and on whom the character Indiana Jones was based. Along with discovering new dinosaurs such as Protoceratops, and the skull of a Baluchitherium (the largest mammal that ever lived on land), Andrews and the members of his various expeditions fought off poisonous snakes, bandits, and endured a wide range of weather extremes. Facklam's superb text keeps readers involved throughout. Along with Andrews's exploits, the author follows through on some of the recent landmark discoveries in the Gobi, which include the first dinosaur embryo ever discovered and the skeleton of an Oviraptor protecting, or possibly hatching, a nest of eggs. The excellent-quality photos, both archival black-and-white and full-color modern shots, show specimens and scenes of the scientists at work, and act as a window to help readers visualize the expeditions. A superlative book that captures the adventure of hunting for dinosaur bones.?Cathryn A. Camper, Minneapolis Public Library
