Across Mongolian Plains - A Naturalists Account of China's Great Northwest by Roy Chapman Andrews audiobook.
Genre: adventure
In Across Mongolian Plains: A Naturalists Account of Chinas Great Northwest, famed explorer and naturalist Roy Chapman Andrews invites listeners into the vast, wind-scoured spaces beyond the Great Wall, where grasslands fade into desert and the horizon seems to run forever. Traveling by cart, horseback, and camel caravan, Andrews chronicles the daily realities of field science in the early 20th century: securing supplies, negotiating routes, enduring punishing weather, and pushing onward when water, fuel, and luck run thin. Along the way, he sketches a vivid portrait of Mongolian life and the borderlands of northern China, from remote encampments and trading posts to the rituals of the steppe and the hard-earned expertise of local guides. With a naturalists eye, he watches wildlife, reads the land for signs of change, and reflects on how geography and climate shape the people who live there. Part travelogue, part expedition journal, this classic account captures the tension between curiosity and risk, and the stubborn determination required to study nature at the edge of the map.
