Whether impelled by greed or curiosity, by national pride or a thirst for scientific knowledge, explorers have always had gripping tales to tell. Not only were there the dangers - of fevers, hostile tribes, impenetrable forests and icy water - but also the beauties and mysteries of the unknown. Covering the ancient world to the space age, this book recounts the stories of famous explorers - Alexander the Great, Columbus, Captain Cook, Livingstone, Scott and many others. It also includes many less well-known expeditions, such as the bloody conquest of Kamchatka, the ancient Carthaginian who might have sailed to West Africa, the medieval Arab who reached China and the French expedition to Australia. Background information is provided on each phase of exploration, the equipment and technology available and the people and places discovered.  Price: $16.50 (AUD) Book Number: 37378  Bookseller: Dial a Book Postage Rates     Professor David - The Life of Sir Edgeworth David David, M.

Fuson ISBN: 185253043X Ashford, UK. 1987      Oblong 4to hardcover 252pp index, colour & b/w illus. very good / very good d/w. From School Library Journal: Columbus' log presents an overwhelming picture of circumnavigation during the 15th Century. The prologue gives an overview of the log; Columbus, the man; and the ships themselves. The actual log chronicles daily activities from August 1492 to March 1493. The seven appendixes in the epilogue complete the picture of Columbus' previous journeys, what he actually discovered in 1492, and a fascinating account of how his remains were shuffled around various cathedrals after his death. The format allows readers to read any part or all parts of the biography that interest them. A clear perspective on a well-known historical event.
