Geography and Travel

Abstract

To explore untrodden ways is the ambition of all who travel in the remoter parts of the world. Col. Schomberg in traversing the deserts of Central Asia found it impossible, notwithstanding his endeavours, to avoid the cities; but nevertheless in “Peaks and Plains of Central Asia” he shows, by example, how much is still to be learned in the haunts of man along those Asiatic roads where others, though not very many Europeans, have passed before him.

Peaks and Plains of Central Asia.

By Col. R. C. F. Schomberg. Pp. 288 + 8 plates. (London: Martin Hopkinson, Ltd., 1933.) 15s. net.
