Dinosaurs of the Flaming Cliff by Michael Novacek

Dinosaurs of the Flaming Cliff by Michael Novacek

Over the past six years Michael Novacek, the Provost of Science at the American Museum of Natural History, has led a team of international scientists to the Gobi Desert on the greatest dinosaur expedition of the late 20th century.

Closed to the West since the 1920's, the remote sands of Mongolia's Gobi Desert constitute the richest fossil site in the world. In Dinosaurs of the Flaming Cliffs, Novacek invites the reader along with his team as he recounts the day-to-day drama of field exploration and discusses the remarkable discoveries that he and his colleagues unearthed, fossil finds that have helped to reshape our understanding of the dinosaur and early mammal era.

Interweaving the adventure of field research with chapters that bring the reader up to date on contemporary dinosaur theory and science, Dinosaurs of the Flaming Cliffs brings the excitement of scientific discovery to life.

Novacek, Michael: - Michael Novacek, senior vice-president and provost of science at the American Museum of Natural History, is the author of Time Traveler, Dinosaurs of the Flaming Cliffs, and Terra. He lives in New York City.
