Through the course of human history, there have always been a few brave people willing to risk their lives and give up personal comforts to explore beyond borders and oceans. The exploits of the greatest of these explorers, whose adventures changed our understanding of the world, are chronicled in this beautifully illustrated and highly detailed book. Your readers will be transported to places full of danger and introduced to explorers bold enough to discover uncharted lands, including James Cook, Magellan, and Christiaan Bernard.
