Westerners in China

by Foster Stockwell

"This book traces Western exploration in and trade with China to the present day. It follows such highlights as exploration by the Russian Nikolay Przhevalsky; the travels of nineteenth-century women explorers; American Roy Chapman's discovery of the first fossilized dinosaur eggs; and the competition between two American explorers to be the first to capture a live panda. Also included is a chronology of Chinese history."--Jacket.
