Originally published in 1994 in French, Dinosaur Impressions is the engaging account of thirty years of travel and paleontological exploration by Philippe Taquet, one of the world's most noted paleontologists. Dr.

Taquet takes the reader on a surprisingly far-flung tour - ranging from the countryside of Provence to the desert of Niger, from the Brazilian bush to the Mongolian Steppes, and from the Laotian jungle to the Moroccan mountains - in search of dinosaur bones and what they have to tell us about a vanished world. With wry humor and lively anecdotes, Dr. Taquet retraces the history of paleontological research, along the way discussing the latest theories of dinosaur existence and extinction.

First Sentence

"THERE IS A PLACE on this Earth where, simply by hopping out of your car, you risk suddenly finding yourself nose to nose with a dinosaur: a dinosaur embedded in the desert, whose spinal column, disengaged by the gritty winds from the friable sandstones that have encased it for 110 million years, is separating cleanly from the horizon between earth and sky."
