To give a brief taste of her writing, here is a short paragraph from near the end of the book as she speaks of the nomads of the eastern Gobi as it merges into Mongolia. "It is a region so vast that the encampments are as widely separated by sands as islands on the face of an ocean are by water, but wherever there is steppe or grazing land, there the Mongol comes, spends a season, feeds his flocks and herds, then rolls up his tent and moves on to fresh pastures. The Gobi winds clean up the place which he has soiled, the pastures which his flocks have cropped grow greener than ever, and Nature promptly repairs all the mischief he has done to her clean orderliness." Alas for a time when Nature can no longer make repairs! ( )
