As this publication was supported by private donations, the funding ran out during the Great Depression, and only seven of the twelve volumes were completed. Individually, these volumes are scarce This collection is a record of the American Museum of Natural History's (AMNH) explorations undertaken during the 1920s in the Gobi Desert under the leadership of Roy Chapman Andrews, known as The Central Asiatic Expeditions. Walter Granger was chief palaeontologist and the second in command. The Asiatic Expeditions were a massive undertaking, one expedition alone is estimated to have cost over $6 million in today's money. American explorer, naturalist and zoologist, Roy Chapman Andrews (1884-1960) led AMNH's team (of up to forty scientists, drivers, and assistants) to uncover one of the world's richest fossil deposits, preserved in the dry desert landscape. They explored throughout the Gobi Desert and cemented this area as a prime location for paleontological study. The expedition's most groundbreaking discovery was the first dinosaur nest. The twelve intact dinosaur eggs were discovered in the Flaming Cliffs in the Gobi Desert, at the edges of present day Mongolia and China. In a New York Times article reporting the finding, reporters called expedition leaders, AMNH President Henry Osborn and Andrews, "adventurers of science." Biographers also describe Andrews as a "showman" who captured the hearts of an American audience through his many writings, which described his excursions, in addition to his scientific discoveries. His perilous, globetrotting adventures were the inspiration for the film character Indiana Jones.
