His group amazed the world with their discoveries&#8212;and scientists are still following in Andrews&#8217;s footsteps, digging in the rich sites he found.<BR><BR></p><h3>Children's Literature</h3><p>"Sterling Point Books," a series of biographies, which mostly cover explorers and warriors, includes this story of Roy Chapman Andrews, scientist and discoverer of dinosaur and mammal fossils in the ear
