About the author

Nicholas Shoumatoff is an entomologist and retired mechanical engineer.

Nina Shoumatoff studied literature and philosophy.

The two have trekked and hiked widely in the mountain regions of Central Asia, the Caucasus, the Alps, the Appalachians, the Tetons, the Pacific Northwest, and the Caribbean, on which they have lectured and published separately and together. On the first of their two expeditions to Central Asia they carried the Explorers Club Flag through four now-independent republics; on their second trip they participated in three international mountaineering camps among the highest peaks of the Pamir. Nicholas is a fellow emeritus of the Explorers Club, a member of the American Alpine Club, a research associate of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, and coauthor of a monograph on the butterflies of Afghanistan.
