Excerpt from The New Conquest of Central Asia, Vol. 1: A Narrative of the Explorations of the Central Asiatic Expeditions in Mongolia and China, 1921-1930; Natural History of Central Asia

This book is an introduction to the scientific publications on the explora tions of the Central Asiatic Expeditions in Mongolia and China, from 1921 to 1930. It tells how the work was done and attempts to give a picture of the country itself, of the Expeditions' daily life in Cmp and on the trail, of the transport by camels and motor cars, and of the principal discoveries in the various branches of science represented. It has been written to give the layman a comprehensive View of the Expeditions and makes no attempt to discuss the discoveries in detail, inasmuch as that is done in the series of scientific volumes which follow.
