On Ancient Central-Asian Tracks details the findings of Stein's first three Central Asian expeditions and research undertaken between 1900 and 1916. This is an especially fresh copy of a work produced in the handsome style common to Stein's monographs. The work originated as a series of lectures given at Harvard University in December 1929. "The First Expedition had proved Stein to be as brilliantly effective a fieldworker as the Rajatarangini showed him to be a scholarly Orientalist - a pioneer in a vast new field of research; the Second extending his investigations to Tun-Huang and the Aksai Chin made him a hero and brought him knighthood; the Third extending his field of operations still further - into Mongolia on the east and Iran on the west - gave substance to his role as 'Archaeological Explorer'" Mirsky p. 461.
