Here is a book designed to inspire the heart, challenge the mind, delight the eye, engage the armchair traveler and, yes, encourage your bootheels to be wanderin. The editors of Time have sought out the most exciting new discoveries in the fields of geography, paleontology, astronomy and archaeology and combined them with classic tales of exploration to present a book that is vast in scope and pulsing with the energy of fresh knowledge. It includes the latest updates on the fascinating fossilized dinosaurbirds of China; reports of revelatory recent digs in Egypt; and an overview of new findings from the swarm of craft now investigating Mars, Jupiter and the moons of Saturn.The books journey takes us from Siberias Yamal Peninsula, where the 40,000yearold carcass of the baby mammoth Lyuba emerged from the permafrost, to a mysterious cave on Indonesias island of Flores, where an unusual species of miniature early humans, dubbed the hobbits, once lived. The cast of striking characters includes the brilliant Chinese paleontologist Xing Xu, Egypts famed tombraider Zahi Hawassand nasas plucky Martian rovers, Opportunity and Spirit. Readers will be surprised to learn how much new information has emerged in recent years about subjects we thought we knew well, from the wreck of the Titanic to the mysteries of the Pueblo cliffdwellers of the American Southwest.In addition to its probing, wideranging account of great discoveries past and present, the book offers a host of arresting photographs that create a spectacular visual panorama of Planet Earths most powerful forces and most exotic regions. Welcome aboardand bon voyage!
