Download or read book The Great Journeys in History written by Robin Hanbury-Tenison and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lively collection of the adventurous stories of the greatest explorers in history. Ferdinand Magellan, Genghis Khan, Thor Heyerdahl, Amelia Earhart, and Neil Armstrong: these are some of the greatest travelers of all time. This book chronicles their stories and many more, describing epic voyages—from early trips through the great port city of Alexandria to the latest journeys into space. In antiquity, we follow Alexander the Great to the Indus and Hannibal across the Alps; in medieval times, we trek beside Genghis Khan and Ibn Battuta. The Renaissance eventually led to Columbus visiting the Americas and to the circumnavigation of the world. In the following centuries, global maps are filled in by Abel Tasman, Vitus Bering, and James Cook. Journeys specifically made for scientific discoveries, most famously by Alexander von Humboldt and Charles Darwin, begin. In modern times, the ends of the earth were reached—including both poles and the world’s highest mountain. Editor Robin Hanbury-Tenison leads an incredible team of fifty-two contributors, including Robert Ballard and Ranulph Fiennes, who relate firsthand experiences with the journeys and places they describe. The Great Journeys in History chronicles the stories of bold, early travelers who explored the unexplored and who set out into the unknown, bringing alive the romance and thrill of adventure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of biographies focuses on the discoverers and explorers of the New World - written for young readers, this is a superb introduction to the Age of Discovery. Beginning with Christopher Columbus, the man who found the Americas, we proceed to a variety of the world's finest explorers. These bold navigators braved lengthy sea voyages, as well as dangers upon the sea and the land. Some were commissioned by the leaders of different countries, while others strove to explore independently. All were brave and their adventures made many great story books. Some even founded the first colonial villages and little ports in new lands, starting the recorded history of many a new territory. Illustrations of the great explorers accompany the biographies, and the author seeks to make the stories of these historic people entertaining yet accurate. Various legends of the time, such as the golden city of El Dorado, are mentioned. Finding mythical treasure and claiming it would not only make the finder a person of huge wealth, but also secure fame and a legacy that would last long after they had left the world.

Book excerpt: Dedicated an mat Prutlprlpd of who, with self-sacrifice, devotion, and lack of persdprofit, have consecrated their lives to the education and development of the youths of all English speaking countries. A voice came from the westwand it whispered a met sage clear, And the dripping fog banks parted as the clarion tones drew near It spoke of shores wztrodden, and it sang of mountains bold, Of shimmering sands in distant lands which were cou ered with glittering gold. It sang of hemlock forests, where tlre moose roamed, and the bear, Where the eider bred near the cascades head, and the lucivee had his lair. It praised the rushing water falls, it told of the salmon red, Who swam in the spurning ripples by the rushing rivers head. It chanted its praise of the languorous days which lay neath the shimmering sun, Of the birch canoe and the Indian, too, who trapped in the forests dun. Yea, it told of the bars of silver, and it whispered of emeralds green, Of topaz, sapphire, and amethyst, which shone with a dazzling sheen CONTENTS LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS PAGE Amerigo Vespucci See page 45 . .

Book excerpt: The European explorers who dared to face the perils of the unknown have in recent times become shrouded in controversy. No longer esteemed as heroes, except in their homelands, these bold explorers are now seen as purveyors of disease, destruction and slavery whose only interests were finding gold, becoming famous, and spreading their religious beliefs. But, as the author of this work points out, these explorers broke down long-standing myths and broadened the world's horizons. Beginning with Prince Henry the Navigator's worldly vision of finding a direct sea route to India and concluding with Ferdinand Magellan's quest to be the first man to sail around the world, this work tells the collective story of the numerous explorers who sought to find a path to the exotic spices and other treasures of the Far East. Most of the explorers included in this work were of the same generation and several of them even sailed together. The book also examines the political, social and economic factors that ushered in the age of exploration and had such an impact upon the explorers.

Book excerpt: "Whosoever commands the sea commands the trade; whosoever commands the trade of the world commands the riches of the world, and consequently the world itself." This sentiment was first voiced by English explorer Sir Walter Raleigh, but for the British, it was a lesson that came at a great human and economic cost. Here, in this essay, is the story of how England struggled to settle the New World.
