Description
An illustrated book of exciting facts about human curiosity and the desire to see and explore the world maps the great expeditions of people, from prehistoric migrations to thrilling polar expeditions, exploratory journeys by all possible means of transport, to the space journeys of the future. Each illustrated story tells about famous and lesser-known explorers and travelers from various corners of the world - such as Marco Polo, Ibn Battuta, James Cook, Ferdinand Magellan, Mary Kingsley, Amelia Earhart, Thor Heyerdahl, and many others. Read also about the adventurous Alexandra David-Néel, who, at the age of fifteen in 1883, ran away from home to discover distant parts of the world on her own, and who then renewed her passport at the age of 100!
