This attractive volume, which celebrates the heritage of Genghis  Khan, accompanied a tour of archaeological treasures from  Inner Mongolia across North America between 1994 and 1995 which  was organised by the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles  County. The volume publishes photographs of artefacts and works  of art which date from the Palaolithic and the first dynasties of  the 3rd and 2nd millenna BC to the Qing Dynasty of the  post-medieval era and includes objects representative of the 20th  century. The photographs are accompanied by a useful discussion  which places the objects within their cultural and historic  contexts.
