Organised according to geographical region, and accompanied by essays by such famous names as Wilfred Thesiger, Richard Leakey and Edmund Hillary, the photographs offer a fascinating glimpse of the world's varied landscapes and habitats, its peoples and ways of life. Some of the pictures recall historic moments in time - Scott finding Amundsen's empty tent at the South Pole, Tenzing Norgay photographed by Hillary on the peak of Everest, the ferryman who took David Livingstone across the river on the lost day of his life. Other pictures are remarkable as records of vanished or vanishing peoples, or simply as beautiful pieces of art in their own right.
Lavishly produced, the RGS lllusfrafed is a book to treasure - a unique view of the world in all its variety, and a pictorial reminder of some of the greatest achievements in exploration. Vissza
