Title Description
Led by Roy Chapman Andrews, the world-renowned explorer, the Central Asiatic Expeditions (1922-1930) comprised the most ambitious scientific venture ever launched from the United States. Under the auspices of the American Museum of Natural History, Andrews conducted five expeditions to the last uncharted corner of the world: the Gobi Desert of Outer and Inner Mongolia. Using automobiles supported by camel caravans, Andrews' expeditions stumbled upon unimagined scientific wonders: the Flaming Cliffs, dinosaur eggs, the first skeleton of Velociraptor (of Jurassic Park fame) and a fossil treasure trove of other dinosaurs and extinct mammals. Gallenkamp vividly recounts these extraordinary discoveries and the unforgettable adventures that attended them...raging sandstorms, murderous bandits, civil wars and political intrigue.
