The History of The Royal Geographical Society 1830-1980.  150 Years of World Exploration. Forewords by David Attenborough and John Hunt.   Illustrated and Indexed.

The story of the past one hundred and fifty years of global exploration is inextricably bound up with that of the Royal Geographical Soceity.  It is a stirring account of courage, dedication, stubborn valour and, at times of supreme sacrifice.

All the romance of adventure is here combined with the quest for knowledge and the discipline of scientific investigation.

To the Farthest Ends of the Earth is a highly readable, carefully researched account, superbly illustrated with over 50 pictures in full colour and 250 sketches and photographs in black and white, nearly all from the Soceity's archives.

Here are original sketches by explorers such as Livingstone and Speke, many find paintings and water colours  - most previously unpublished  - by expedition artists, and some jagnificent examples of the work of early and contemporary photographers.

Includes:  The Search for the North West Passage;  The Crossing of the Australian Deserts;  The Quest for the Sources of the Nile;  The Conquest of the North Pole;  The Race to the South Pole; The Discovery and Ascent of Everest;  Scientific Investigation .....
