For over two thousand years intrepid men and women have risked great dangers and endured immense hardship in their quest for knowledge of the earth's unexplored regions. Great Explorers recounts the harrowing adventures of over forty such courageous pioneers. Here are Alexander the Great and his conquering army; Marco Polo, lured by the promise of eastern riches; the selfless determination of Livingstone; Scotts Antarcic tragedy; and finally Neil Armstrong's historic first step on the moon. The characters, motives and personal lives of these unique individuals all play a part in the story of their remarkable achievements, while superb colour pictures and maps illustrate the hazards they faced on their journeys.
