PDF The Higher Hinduism in Relation to Christianity; Certain Aspects of Hindu Thought From the Christian Standpoint by Thomas Ebenezer Slater in History

Description

Historian David Crane; with full access to the explorer’s papers; diaries; and expedition records; gives us an illuminating portrait of Robert Falcon Scott that is more nuanced and balanced than any we have had before. In reassessing Scott’s life; Crane is able to provide a fresh perspective on not only the Discovery expedition of 1901—4 and the Terra Nova expedition of 1910—13; but his remarkable scientific achievements and the challenges of his tumultuous private life. Neither foolhardy dilettante; nor the last romantic champion of his age; Scott is presented as a man of indomitable courage and questionable judgment. The result is an absolutely compelling portrait of a complicated hero.
