Book excerpt: Excerpt from Central Asiatic Expeditions, Vol. 1: American Museum of Natural History, Preliminary Reports Vol; I, 1918-1925 The Central Asiatic Expeditions of the American Museum of Natural History, under the leadership of Roy Chapman Andrews, actually began in the year 1916 with the first collecting tour of the Leader accompanied by Mrs. Andrews, into the western Chinese Province of Yun-nan. The exploration continued under Doctor Andrews' leadership in the First, Second and Third Asiatic Expeditions, and all the scientific results are now embraced under the general title of Central Asiatic Expeditions. Beginning in 1916, Doctor Andrews has contributed to Asia Magazine and other periodicals, as listed in the bibliography included in this volume, a series of articles on the organization, personnel, narrative and discoveries of the Expeditions, which will be comprised in Volume I, 'Narrative of the Expeditions, ' of the series of twelve volumes in which the scientific results of the Expedition will be republished in permanent form. Volume II of the series, 'Geological Reconnaissance in Mongolia, ' covers the work of Messrs. Berkey and Morris to the end of the year 1925, and will appear during the present year. Meanwhile, sixty-three preliminary scientific papers, as listed in the bibliography of this volume, have been published, chiefly in the American Museum Bulletin and Novitates, reprints of which are collected and bound together in the present volume. This volume is issued especially for the convenience of specialists and investigators actually engaged in present researches in the same fields of Geology, Palaeontology and Zoology. While designed for personal use, the volumes are addressed and donated to the institutions to which the recipients are attached, to become part of the permanent libraries of these institutions. A special branch of the American Museum Library is to be devoted to Central Asiatic exploration, especially in the regions covered by our expeditions, and libraries and individuals are invited to contribute in return for the present volume, which is sent out in the spirit of international exchange and cooperation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new edition of the illustrated compendium that is “a gift to serious dinosaur enthusiasts” (Science). What do we know about dinosaurs, and how do we know it? How did they grow, move, eat, and reproduce? Were they warm-blooded or cold-blooded? How intelligent were they? How are the various groups of dinosaurs related to each other, and to other kinds of living and extinct vertebrates? What can the study of dinosaurs tell us about the process of evolution? And why did typical dinosaurs become extinct? These questions and more are addressed in this new, expanded edition of The Complete Dinosaur. Written by leading experts on the “fearfully great” reptiles, the book covers what we have learned about dinosaurs, from the earliest discoveries to the most recent controversies. Where scientific contention exists, the editors have let the experts agree to disagree. The Complete Dinosaur is a feast for serious dinosaur lovers, from the enthusiastic amateur to the professional paleontologist. Praise for the first edition: “An excellent encyclopedia that serves as a nice bridge between popular and scholarly dinosaur literature.” —Library Journal (starred review) “Stimulating armchair company for cold winter evenings. . . . Best of all, the book treats dinosaurs as intellectual fun.” —New Scientist “Useful both as a reference and as a browse-and-enjoy compendium.” —Natural History “Copiously illustrated and scrupulously up-to-date.” —Publishers Weekly “The amount of information in [these] pages is amazing. This book should be on the shelves of dinosaur freaks as well as those who need to know more about the paleobiology of extinct animals. It will be an invaluable library reference.” —American Reference Books Annual
