A crowd-pleasing biography of explorer, mammalogist and American Museum of Natural History director Roy Chapman Andrews (1884-1960), a flamboyant character said to be the inspiration for Indiana Jones. Gallenkamp devotes appropriate attention to Chapman Andrews' front-page exploits in Central Asia in the 1920s, particularly his discoveries in the Gobi, where Chapman found the first fossil dinosaur eggs at a locality in Mongolia he christened the Flaming Cliffs.  (CAS63, $15.00)
