About this product
Product Information
In this golden age of exploration and discovery, our knowledge of this planet is being expanded as never before in human history. Discoveries like plate tectonics, desertification, the hole in the ozone layer, and the greenhouse effect have transformed our understanding of the earth and its climate. And from the mountain peaks to ocean floors, untrodden places are being explored for the very first time. The Golden Age of Discovery is a photographic tribute to the adventures, dangers, hardships, and accomplishments of modern expeditions. It also includes profiles of noted explorers as well as features on the main fields of sporting exploration, and John Hemming's text is dramatically enhanced with 200 color photos and maps from around the world. John Hemming was Director of the Royal Geographic Society for more than two decades.Product Identifiers
