Shackleton by Jim Mayer
New biography of the great polar explorer reveals a new side to Sir Ernest Shackleton
'Mayer puts forward arguments with such authority and obviously intimate knowledge of the material that I am thoroughly convinced.. it far far outstrips the majority of polar dross I've read over the years.'--Felicity Aston, MBE, first woman to ski across Antarctica alone and author of Alone in Antarctica 'If he has the face of a fighter, he has the look of a poet: one must be both fighter and poet to accomplish what he has done.' --Daily Telegraph, June 1909 'This is an extremely interesting work on a very important part of Shackleton's character.' --Jonathan Shackleton, polar historian & cousin of Sir Ernest Shackleton
Jim Mayer is an expedition leader and a guide in the Arctic and Antarctic where he specialises in polar history. He has led his own life of exploration, having skied across the Greenland ice cap and survived an attack from hungry polar bears.
