Chapters: Djadochta Formation, Barun Goyot Formation, Ikh Khorig, Greater Mongolia, Outer Mongolia, Yurt Quarter, Khukhtek Formation, Irdin Manha Formation. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 40. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Djadochta Formation (sometimes transcribed Djadokhta) is situated in central Asia (Gobi Desert) and dates from the Late Cretaceous Period. Laid down in the early Campanian, possibly starting in the latest Santonian, it is dated somewhat uncertainly at about 84-75 mya (million years ago). The type locality are the famous "Flaming Cliffs", locally known as Bayanzag ("rich in Haloxylon") or Ulaan-Ereg ("red cliffs"). It preserves an arid habitat of sand dunes, with little freshwater apart from oases and arroyos. In fact, the present-day climate at most Djadochta Formation sites differs little from what it was some 80 mya, except by being somewhat warmer and perhaps a bit less arid then. This is testimony to the fact that the location has long been so far from any major source of evaporation that little rainfall reached it, even before the Himalayas were uplifted which bar clouds from reaching today's Gobi desert. Most notable fossil discoveries have been the first confirmed dinosaur eggs (a clutch, probably of Oviraptor) and several dinosaur finds, Protoceratops, Pinacosaurus and Velociraptor being the most prominent. The Flaming Cliffs, type locality of the Djadochta Formation The fauna of the Djadochta Formation is very similar in composition to the nearby Bayan Mandahu Formation. The two share many of the same genera, but differ in the exact species. For example, the most common mammal in the Djadochta is Kryptobaatar dashzevegi, while in the Bayan Mandahu, it is the closely related Kryptobaatar mandahuensis. Similarly, the dinosaur fauna of the Djadocht...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=5676432 ... Read more

OLDER BOOK; SAVE YOUR MONEY
Well folks,

after looking around, I happened across this book. The price was right (super cheap), so I purchased it to check it out.

Now I know why it was so cheap. It's old as heck.

Mongolia is not like this any longer. It talks about the Mongolia of the socialist/communist 70's or 80's era.

I read a few pages, and was very disappointed.

My wife is Mongolian. And she also stated that the book is very outdated.

So if you want my opinion...look elsewhere.

If you are interested in purchasing this book from me - super cheap - contact me. If I have not gotten rid of it, you may have the deal of the century.

The Land and People of Mongolia
This book is about the land and people of Mongolia. It is a well-written and fruitful book. This book explains the past and the present and the impressions that other countries experience with them. The book also explains native life, politics, culture and art.

For example, the book explains the yasa or the law of Genghis Khan. No one knows exactly what the yasa was. They know from manuscripts and documents of China that it existed.

The book told me also that yurts are made from felt and not from animal skins. The proper word for yurt is ger. The word yurt is actually Turkish. The Turks were in trade routes with Mongolia. A high ranking official in the Turkish government was actually ethnically Mongolian, but he was culturally Turkish. As in the illustration in the book you can see the Turkish clothes and scimitar. This schows that Genghis Khan spread his empire so far, from Japan to eastern Eurpoe, two places that did not know each other. But this was only for a brief time. Then Mongolia split into tribes and became isolated. The empire collapsed and the imperial life was now gone but some of the historical buildings still remain. Some are in cities and some are in the countryside. These were large forts and monumental buildings built of stome, with the insides heavily adorned wtih painted stucco.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in other countries or is bored with their life. This book is at an intermediate level for fourth graders.

Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Mongolia," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Mongolia in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Mongolia when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Mongolia, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

Product Description

With its small population and low GDP, Mongolia is frequently deemed "unique" or tacked onto various area studies programs: Inner Asia, Central Asia, Northeast Asia, or Eurasia. This volume is a response to the concern that countries such as Mongolia are marginalized when academia and international diplomacy reconfigure area studies borders in the postsocialist era.

Would marginalized countries such as Mongolia benefit from a reconfiguration of area studies programs or even from another way of thinking about grouping nations? This book uses Mongolia as a case study to critique the area studies methodology and test the efficacy of another grouping methodology, the "-scapes" method proposed by Arjun Appadurai. Could the application of this approach for tracing individuals' social networks by theme (finance, ethnicity, ideology, media, and technology) be applied to nation-states or peoples? Could it then prevent Mongolia from slipping through the cracks of academia and international diplomacy? Experts from ecology, genetics, archaeology, history, anthropology, and international diplomacy contemplate these issues in their chapters on Mongolia through the ages. Their work includes over 30 maps to help situate Mongolia in its geologic, geographic, economic, and cultural matrix. By comparing maps of different time periods and intellectual orientations, readers can consider for themselves the place of Mongolia in the world community and the relative benefits of these and other grouping methodologies.
