Alexander Douglas Mitchell Carruthers was a British explorer and naturalist whose work focused on the Middle East and Central Asia in the early 20th century. He applied his extensive field experience, including land surveying and taxidermy, to several significant expeditions. His publications meticulously document his journeys and discoveries, with some of his collections remaining unique specimens for British museums to this day. His contributions earned him recognition from the Royal Geographical Society and the wider scientific community.
Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
