| Summary |
Here are the stories of nine great adventures and the lives of the men who took part in them. They pushed back the frontiers of man's knowledge of the world by their vision, courage and sheer doggedness. They were very different people from bold adventurers facing the unknown with enjoyment to careful, more scientific individuals. Their journeys, placed within their historical context, also contain the words of the men themselves. |
