Description

A superbly illustrated reference of great explorers and their expeditions since 1845. One the most exciting periods of exploration coincided with the invention of photography. As a result; the most important expeditions over the last 160 years were captured and preserved by incredibly dramatic photographs. Explorers is a stunning history of such expeditions; presented chronologically since 1845. It features rare archival photographs; maps; prints; and drawings; reproduced on stunning gatefolds that fold out to up to 40 inches across and up to 22 inches high. Text includes a short biography of each explorer; the extraordinary stories of their expeditions; and passages from their personal journals. The explorers featured include; among many others; a total of 22: Richard Frances Burton and John Hanning Speke: sources of the Nile Henry Stanley: looking for Livingstone Isabella Bird Bishop: China Ernest Shackleton: Antarctica Roald Amundsen: the Northwest Passage and the South Pole Gertrude Bell: Iraq Maria Reiche: Nazca; Peru Thor Heyerdahl: Kon-Tiki raft across the Pacific Edmund Hillary: atop Mount Everest Neil Armstrong: first steps on the Moon.
