Publisher's Synopsis
Across Mongolian Plains: A Naturalist�������s Account Of China�������s Great Northwest is a book written by Roy Chapman Andrews, an American explorer, adventurer, and naturalist. The book is a detailed account of his travels through the vast and remote region of China's northwest, which includes the Mongolian Plateau, the Gobi Desert, and the Altai Mountains.Andrews' journey took place in the early 20th century, when this part of China was still largely unexplored by Westerners. He and his team of scientists and explorers set out to document the region's flora and fauna, as well as its geology, history, and culture.The book is divided into chapters that cover different aspects of Andrews' journey, from his initial arrival in the region to his encounters with local tribes, his observations of the region's wildlife, and his experiences navigating the harsh and unforgiving landscape. Throughout the book, Andrews provides vivid descriptions of the scenery, the people he meets, and the animals he encounters, as well as his own thoughts and reflections on his experiences.Across Mongolian Plains is not only a fascinating travelogue and a valuable historical document, but also a testament to Andrews' passion for exploration and his dedication to understanding the natural world. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of exploration, natural history, or the culture and geography of China's northwest.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
