[.ca] National Geographic Video:Dino (ISBN 6304438133)

From Amazon.com:
In 1922 American paleontologist Roy Chapman Andrews led the first Western archeological expedition into Mongolia's Gobi Desert and uncovered one of the richest dinosaur graveyards in the world. A changing political climate forced him to leave before he had even scratched the surface of this buried treasure; only since the fall of Communism have Western scientists been allowed back. This hour-long National Geographic video traces the 1997 journey of two paleontologists from the American Museum of Natural History as they retrace Chapman's steps and unearth some groundbreaking finds of their own. Among these fossils is the skeleton of a female oviraptor and her nest of a dozen eggs, which may represent a link in the evolutionary chain that leads from dinosaurs to birds. The chronicle of the contemporary dig is interspersed with archival footage from Chapman's expedition and impressive 3-D animation that re-creates what the desert may have looked like when oviraptors, ankylosaurs, protoceratops, and other dinosaurs made it their home. --Larisa Lomacky Moore

dinosaurs? more like, palentology.:
Don't believe all you hear, don't be fooled by their gadgetry, these surfers are the stars of this dinosaur all star show. But it is clear that since they were first discovered in the Gobi desert till now it is humans who have been using and abusing dinosaurs for their own ploys at fame. These surfers who pretend they are paleontologists play the guitar and talk about their feelings and don't do thorough justice to these creatures which are better than humans are. Not enough dinosaurs.

Them bones, them bones, them dry bones of the Gobi excite!:
National Geographic does it again! Exceptionally valuable footage of the American Museum of Natural History's car & camel expedition from Peking into the heart of Mongolia in the 1920's is presented as background to this documentary coverage of the most recent American expeditions into the Gobi. The excitement of discovery of new fossil fields and a light hearted peak into the life of dinosaurs is most entertaining and informative. Additionally, the independent country of Mongolia, known to traveler's as Outer Mongolia to differentiate from the Chinese occupied "Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region", provides paleontologists with the most varied and highest quality dinosaur and mammal fossils known anywhere. Though old bones were never an interest of mine, nor have I every been attracted to films like Jurassic Park, this adventure made me eager to pack my bags and jump the next camel train to Mongolia. And not just to look for dinosaur bones. Mongolia is also one of the few unspoiled parts of the globe and only recently freed from the isolation imposed on it by the former Soviet Union. Well worth a look!
