Review Review of previous edition: "It is an exceedingly handsome but affordable volume, full of exciting stories and odd bits of historical facts."The Times [London] Product Description This is a comprehensive anthology of the writings of explorers through the ages, now fully revised and updated. The ultimate in travel writing, these are the words of those who changed the world through their pioneering search for new lands, new peoples, and new experiences. The book takes us to Asia with Vasco da Gama and Wilfred Thesiger, to the Americas with Sir Francis Drake and Meriweather Lewis, to Africa with Dr David Livingstone and Mary Kingsley, to the Pacific with Ferdinand Magellan and James Cook, to the Poles with Robert Peary and Captain Scott, and beyondthe Earth with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.
