John Hare is a star author & one of the most well-known explorers of his generation. The Gobi is a perennially fascinating part of the world
- a desert that people love to read about. China, the environment/natural world, exploration & discovery: broad & topical appeal. The Gobi is the largest, coldest & driest desert in Asia. Its shifting sands conceal ancient cities, 3, 000-year-old mummies, dinosaur bones & areas where no man has set foot. It is also the last place on earth where the wild Bactrian camel clings to survival, its fragile habitat threatened by poachers & development. With the conservation of this elusive creature in mind, John Hare was inspired to venture into the wildest parts of the Chinese Gobi on an expedition during which they crossed a hundred miles of sand dunes, unexplored in recorded history. Several weeks into the journey, Hare & the team discovered, in two unmapped valleys, a population of wildlife with no experience of man. Interwoven with the account of his remarkable journey, Hare tells, for the first time, the story of an epic migration made by Kazakh nomads in flight from Chinese communists & describes the historic & current tensions between the Chinese & the indigenous Uighur population of Xinjiang.A blend of history & high adventure, discovery & conservation, ” Mysteries of the Gobi” is a unique & compelling account of modern-day exploration.
