Adventure Classroom educator Thayer, named "One of the Great Explorers of the 20th Century" by National Geographic, offers hope to baby boomers about pursuing their dreams. The author of Polar Dream, an account of her solo ski to the magnetic North Pole at age 50, provides a day-by-day account of her trek across the Gobi Desert-cum-inner journey at 63. B&w photos show the formidable Mongolian landscape and its nomadic people. Suggested reading would have been a bonus.
