Exploration by Land (Hardcover)

A fascinating account of the life, adventures, discoveries and explorations of travellers along the Silk Routes, stretching over 8,000 kilometres through the heart of Asia, from the Mediterranean to the China Sea. They crossed some of the most spectacular and dangerous places on Earth: the Pamir Mountains, the Hindu Kush and the notorious Taklamakan desert whose shifting sands have been known to swallow up great cities.
