• COMING IN
Subtitled: How an Unlikely Pair of Adventurers Won the Race to Capture the Mythical "White Bear", this engaging book unearths the spellbinding tale of a charismatic young Chinese American and American socialite Ruth Harkness, and their successful expedition into remote Sichuan in 1936 to recover a panda bear. The panda cub (though it lived only 16 months in the Brookfield Zoo) caused a sensation. The author, who had originally intended to write about Harkness, interviewed the elderly Quentin Young and his brother Jack for the book.
