Ray Howgego spends roughly two months of each year journeying through remote parts of the world in the footsteps of the great explorers. As a result of his travels and research he is conversant with most European languages as well as Arabic and has picked up a smattering of others along the way. He has recently completed his much lauded ENCYCLOPEDIA OF EXPLORATION, a four-volume, 4,000,000-word work that he began in 1990.
"a delight for anyone who has been enchanted, seduced and thrilled by tales of men going blind in the blank spaces of the world -- Stav Sherez THE CATHOLIC HERALD "A stellar cast of pioneering explorers are celebrated in this thorough, and endlessly fascinating, who's who of historical travel" WANDERLUST
