Synopsis:

Your students will discover the lives and times of more than 260 men and women explorers, from ancient Greek scholars and travelers to 20th century oceanographers and astronauts. Who these individuals were, when and how they lived and traveled, why their journeys were significant and what the consequences of their discoveries were are all answered within these biographies. Includes illustrations, maps, a cumulative index and charts depicting explorers by place of birth and a chronology of exploration.

Review: "Readable and interesting for upper-elementary through middle-school students. Unusual in a book for this age level is how frankly rivalries and hostilities are described. The reader gets a feel for how competitive Speke and Burton were and how life-threatening were journeys such as Susie Rijnharts. A worthwhile purchase."
