An autobiography by the author of A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush.  Eric Newby recounts his life, from his earliest childhood adventures in darkest Barnes, to an elephant fair in India; from the faded glamour of days and nights on the Orient Express, to a troglodytic settlement of opal miners in Australia where even armed men have disappeared.

Eight centuries ago, the Mongols burst forth from Central Asia in a series of spectacular conquests that took them from the Danube to the Yellow Sea. Their empire was seen as the final triumph of the nomadic barbarians. But in time, the Mongols sank back into the obscurity from which they had emerged, almost without trace. Remote and outlandish, Outer Mongolia became a metaphor for exile, a lost domain of tents and horsemen, little changed since the days of Genghis Khan.

In Wanderer On My Native Shore, George Reiger conducts us along the Atlantic coast - where he has spent most of his life - from the Canadian border to Key West. His purpose is not only to share his direct experience and extensive lore, but also to provide a clear-minded accounting of what man has done to the natural world he inhabits. The result is a wonderfully evocative guide to, and celebration of, this most diverse and spectacular of continental shores.
