This unique volume opens with "Road of the Winds," a book written by I. A. Efremov after three years leading the Mongolian Paleontological Expedition of the USSR Academy of Sciences (1946, 1948, 1949). Working in extremely difficult conditions, including the Gobi Desert, the expedition discovered and described major deposits of ancient animal fossils. The skeletons recovered by Efremov and his colleagues are the pride of the Paleontological Museum. "Road of the Winds" is a collection of notes on the daily

lives of paleontologists and geologists, the dramatic and humorous aspects of their adventures, mountains and deserts, ancient volcanoes and the "Tomb of the Dragons," and male friendship and devotion to science. The "Articles" section includes materials previously published only in newspapers or magazines. These articles cover paleontology, space exploration, education, literature, and contemporary society. Also published for the first time since 1968 is the article "Secrets of the Past in the Depths of Time." The "Editor's Note" section describes the creation of "Road of the Winds." The volume is adorned with photographs of the Mongolian sites along which Efremov's expedition traveled.
