An extraordinary man, who advanced human knowledge on many fronts, Sir Aurel Stein (1862-1943) pursued dramatic adventure with scientific purpose. Jeannette Mirsky has drawn from Stein’s voluminous outpouring of books and articles as well as from his letters and unpublished archival materials to produce this lively and definitive biography of this archaeological explorer, geographer, historical topographer, and linguist.
