The Great Horizon Bewertungen

'The result is a book you could easily sit down and read from cover to cover... A thoroughly worthwhile book...'

* Undiscovered Scotland *

'Jo Woolf has compiled a brilliant set of fifty short insights into the lives and achievements of some amazingly brave people... A great way to be introduced to the people behind the names we were introduced to as children: Scott, Amundsen, Heyerdahl and so many more.'

* The Bookbag *

'Unique images and never-before-seen material...'

* Scots Magazine *

'Spanning 150 years of exploration and adventure, there's some weight to this book, and rightly so ... Through [Woolf's] words we get an inkling of what drove these pioneers, how they engaged with the people they met, and what it would have been like to journey alongside them.'

* Scottish Mountaineer *

Über Jo Woolf

In 2014 Jo Woolf began digging into the archives of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society, in a mission to bring to light some half-forgotten figures in the field of exploration. She came across some remarkable stories of endurance and survival, and started to piece them together in a book that celebrates the Society's ongoing support of explorers and scientists. In 2016 she was invited to become Writer in Residence at the RSGS.

Jo was born in Shropshire, and now lives with her husband in West Lothian. She has always had a passion for writing, along with a lively fascination for history and the natural world.
