Are there any biographies people could recommend?
I just want some brief and basic stories!

You might look for anything by
Roy Chapman Andrews. It has often been suggested that he served as the model for Indiana Jones.
From Wikipedia:
Quote:
Roy Chapman Andrews (January 26, 1884 – March 11, 1960) was an American explorer, adventurer and naturalist who became the director of the American Museum of Natural History. He is primarily known for leading a series of expeditions through the fragmented China of the early 20th century into the Gobi Desert and Mongolia. The expeditions made important discoveries and brought the first-known fossil dinosaur eggs to the museum. His popular writings about his adventures made him famous.

Very interesting, but probably not brief or basic. Still, I like them!
