He drove motor cars into the Gobi when everyone else was still using camels, and it worked. Roy Chapman Andrews ran his expeditions across Mongolia at speed, collecting specimens, negotiating with bandits and warlords, and mapping country most of his readers could not have found on a globe. A naturalist's account with a rifle in it, from a man who never pretended science was a quiet profession.
