Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Madder than the maddest scientists, eccentric travellers made exploration popular. Who could resist the naturalist who wrestled with boa constrictors, the evangelist who stomped the Hindu Kush stark naked, or the vitriolic 'Governor Gallstone' who forsook the American Indians for a horse-drawn odyssey with monkey, parakeet and long-suffering family? The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
