Hunting for Dinosaurs by Zofia Kielan-Jaworowska PDF Summary

Book Description: "For those who long to escape from the hum-drum routine of their office or laboratory and take part in expeditions to exotic corners of the world, this little book is just the ticket. In "Hunting for Dinosaurs," Kielan-Jaworowska relates in vivid and readable style the adventures, hardships, successes, and frustrations encountered on three paleontologic expeditions...."-- "The Quarterly Review of Biology" "It is an interestingly--even charmingly--written account of hard-working and successful trips to famous dinosaur localities in remote parts of Asia. Mongolian life, how such an expedition operates, and what collecting dinosaur bones is really like--these are related in this delightful book. Although it is an adult book, young people will greatly enjoy it also."-- "Earth Science" "Kielan-Jaworowska's book is a thoroughly readable and informative account of three Polish-Mongolian paleontological expeditions to the Gobi desert, of which she was the leader. There was a preliminary survey trip in 1963, followed by two well-equipped and productive expeditions in 1964 and 1965...."This book will be of particular interest to vertebrate paleontologists, but because of the nature of its subject matter it should attract many readers--scientists and laymen alike. A good story of treasure-hunting (and dinosaurs are treasures in our modern world) is bound to be interesting to many people. The story is abundantly illustrated by many excellent photographs."-- "Science" "The manner in which the Polish scientists carried on their work and solved the many problems that beset them is interestingly recounted by Miss Kielan-Jaworowska. She also devotes numerous asides to descriptions of the Mongolian people with whom the expeditions had contact."-- "Natural History"
