Starred Review

Lively writing captures the excitement of exploration while providing just enough geographic and historical detail.

Starred Review

Ross and Biesty take readers on fourteen historical explorations... Although the human drive for discovery underlies each account, answering the 'how did they do that?' question becomes the focus of this remarkable book.
