About this title

Synopsis

This is a fantastic vintage guide to exploring, with chapters on required equipment, preparation, navigation, history and notable explorers, and much more. "Exploring" is highly recommended those with an interest in the subject, and it is not to be missed by collectors of vintage literature of this ilk. Contents include: "The Scouts as Explorers", "The Explorer's Training", "Use of the Compass", "Map-reading", "Map-making", "Reporting", "The Explorer in Action", "Equipment", "The Country-side", "Highways and Waterways", "Man and His Work", "Things of the Past", "Epilogue", "Index-I. Subjects", "II. Persons and Places", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction. This book was first published in 1930.
