Folio Society, London, 2000. Book condition: fine and with an unread feel. Original pictorial slipcase in fine condition. This is a biref history of a very large subject. The history of exploration is full of legends which, while they are not untrue, contain only a part of the truth. They are legends of men challenging the unknown, displaying heroism and endurance, or meeting death in arctic seas and burning deserts. A fascinating and beautifully illustrated book.
