...American Museum of Natural History is publishing concerning Dr. Andrews' Central Asiatic work. The other eleven are specialized & academic-geology, topography, fossils, reptiles, fishes, mammals of Mongolia and China. The New Conquest of Central Asia recounts for laymen the lively adventures of the expeditions. It describes the nomad life of the Gobi Desert, the thrill of discovering fossils, the troubles of dealing with bandits. It is a narrative for those who must do their exploring from an easy-chair. But Dr. Andrews fears few easy-chairmen will buy a book that looks & sounds as scholarly as The New Conquest...
