Explorers by Dk
An epic visual guide to the most intrepid explorers in history Written in association with the Royal Geographical Society, Explorers brings you stories of great courage, spirit and endurance and opens your eyes to how these expeditions have shaped the course of human history. Set out into the unknown with more than 80 of the world's greatest explorers from across nations and throughout history and discover what motivated them to risk everything in pursuit of discovery.
