Description
|
|
|
|
Conservationist, filmmaker, and aboriginal activist Robin Hanbury-Tenison—deemed by London's Sunday Times in 1982 to be "the greatest explorer of the last 20 years"—presents this anthology of the writings of explorers through the ages, originally published in 1992 and revised and updated in 2005. These are the words of those who changed the world through their searches for new lands and peoples, and the book takes us to Asia with Vasco da Gama, Francis Younghusband, and Wilfred Thesiger; to the Americas with John Cabot, Francis Drake, and Alexander Von Humboldt; to Africa with David Livingstone and Mary Kingsley; to the Pacific with Ferdinand Magellan and James Cook; and to the Poles with Robert Peary and Wally Herbert. "Without doubt, this is still the best compendium of pioneer travelers' tales for any explorer's rucksack—and is likely to remain so for a long time to come."—Times Literary Supplement
