Reviews
"Readers will relish this graceful combination of enlightening research and propulsive action." -- Publishers Weekly (Starred Review), "'The Beast in the Clouds' is far more than an exquisitely rendered account of a quest to track the giant panda in the bamboo forests of the Tibetan Plateau. Nathalia Holt also takes us on a darker journey of hubris and a misguided sense of destiny by Teddy Roosevelt's sons that brought struggles, blunders and, in the end, moral reckonings. Holt's storytelling is powerful and timeless." --Brian Murphy, New York Times bestselling author of 81 Days Below Zero: The Incredible Survival Story of a World War II Pilot in Alaska's Frozen Wilderness, "A beautifully crafted story of science, discovery, and adventure, The Beast in the Clouds follows Ted and Kermit Roosevelt on their nearly fatal search for the legendary giant panda. Tracing the brother's journey through a China torn by warlordism, Nathalia Holt captures with a rare historical sensitivity both the immediacy of that moment and the personal demons that brought these sons of one of America's most famous presidents to the Himalayas." --David S. Brown, author of The First Populist and The Last American Aristocrat, "The best kind of summer reading escape: an adventure story with fascinating characters, plenty of thrills, and some serious ideas to chew on" -- Boston Globe

Synopsis
A 2025 Wall Street Journal Summer Book to Get Lost In A 2025 New York Times Nonfiction Summer Preview Pick "A beautiful and powerful book." --Candice Millard, New York Times bestselling author "Valuable, revelatory, and contagiously page-turning." --David Michaelis, New York Times bestselling author For lovers of history, nature, and adventure, the stunning true story of Theodore Roosevelt's sons and their 1929 Himalayan expedition to prove the existence of the beishung , the panda bear, to the western world, from the New York Times bestselling author of Rise of the Rocket Girls . The Himalayas--a snowcapped mountain range that hides treacherous glacier crossings, raiders poised to attack unsuspecting travelers, and air so thin that even seasoned explorers die of oxygen deprivation. Yet among the dangers lies one of the most beautiful and fragile ecosystems in the world. During the 1920s, dozens of expeditions scoured the Chinese and Tibetan wilderness in search of the panda bear, a beast that many believed did not exist. When the two eldest sons of President Theodore Roosevelt sought the bear in 1928, they had little hope of success. Together with a team of scientists and naturalists, they accomplished what a decade of explorers could not, ultimately introducing the panda to the West. In the process, they documented a vanishing world and set off a new era of conservation biology. Along the way, the Roosevelt expedition faced an incredible series of hardships as they disappeared in a blizzard, were attacked by robbers, overcome by sickness and disease, and lost their food supply in the mountains. The explorers would emerge transformed, although not everyone would survive. Beast in the Clouds brings alive these extraordinary events in a potent nonfiction thriller featuring the indomitable Roosevelt family. From the soaring beauty of the Tibetan plateau to the somber depths of human struggle, Nathalia Holt brings her signature "immersive, evocative" ( Bookreporter ) voice to this astonishing tale of adventure, harrowing defeat, and dazzling success.

- t***t (303)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufAAAA++++ SELLER!!!! Book was shipped very quickly and item price was also good. My only complaint is the shipping packaging. This book came loosely placed in a plastic bag so I can't tell if the damage to the dust jacket happened in shipping or it was already in that condition. But, as I already stated, the overall price was good so I shouldn't really complain. Overall, I've had positive experience with hpb-ruby so I'd still definitely recommend buying from them.
