Explore hidden routes, decipher geographical details, and discover amazing facts as you journey through over a century of geographical wonders—from Shackleton to Livingstone, Darwin to MacArthur, Aston to Wood.
Comprising 50 unforgettable explorer profiles and expeditions retold through a set of increasingly difficult questions, this puzzle book is perfect for everyone from budding geographers to veteran explorers and travellers. Throughout the book, readers are challenged to pit their wits against the world's most legendary explorers and tackle questions regarding the complex nature of exploring and understanding our world. From Shackleton's three Antarctic expeditions to Ellen MacArthur's Vendée Globe solo race, readers are invited to test their geographical skills against some of the most experienced cartographers, geographers, and explorers of all time.
Wonderfully designed and packaged, the book also includes a brief history of the world's most prestigious geographical society and references the institution's ongoing support and contribution to modern scientific exploration and global expeditions. A selection of images from the Society's collection of over two million items is also included. With a foreword by a well-known past President, the book is a wonderful celebration of the history of exploration and the perfect gift for map lovers, history buffs, and geographers everywhere.
