Publisher's Synopsis

""Across Mongolian Plains"" is a non-fiction book written by Roy Chapman Andrews, an American naturalist, explorer, and adventurer. The book is a detailed account of Andrews' travels and experiences in China's Great Northwest, specifically the region of Inner Mongolia. Throughout the book, Andrews describes the landscape, flora, and fauna of the region, as well as the customs and traditions of the Mongolian people who live there. He also shares his encounters with various animals, including wolves, antelopes, and wild horses, and his observations of their behavior and habitats. The book is divided into chapters that cover different aspects of Andrews' journey, such as his experiences with the nomadic Mongolian tribes, his travels across the Gobi Desert, and his encounters with various geological formations and fossils.
