Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the era of the great geographic discoveries, the greatest countries of the world competed for the right to set their rule on the newly discovered territories. Virtus Bering was one of the heroic explorers into the north of the Russian Siberia, who, thanks to the acknowledgment of Sir James Cook, is considered the pioneer of the Bering Strait. Vitus Bering (1681-1741) was a Danish cartographer and explorer who served Russia as an officer in the Russian Navy and later as the lead in two major efforts by Russia to explore the Arctic and eastern limits of the Asian continent to determine if Asia was connected to America by a land bridge. This book gives a detailed account of his life and world-famous expeditions.

Book excerpt: Eighteenth-century Danish explorer Vitus Bering led historic expeditions to the Russian Far East and Alaska under the patronage of Peter the Great, and his wife Anna Christina accompanied him on his expedition to Okhotsk in 1739.

Until Death Do Us Part is a richly informative volume that will be essential for all those interested in European history and travel writing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Corey Ford writes the classic and moving story of naturalist Georg Whilhelm Steller, who served on the 1741-42 Russian Alaska expedition with explorer Vitus Bering. Steller was one of Europe's foremost naturalists and the first to document the unique wildlife of the Alaskan coast. In the course of the voyage, Steller made his valuable discoveries and suffered, along with Bering and the cred of the ill fated brig St. Peter, some of the most grueling experiences in the history of Arctic exploration. First published in 1966, Where the Sea Breaks Its Back was hailed as "among this country's greatest outdoor writing" by Field & Stream magazine, and today continues to enchant and enlighten the new generations of readers about this amazing and yet tragic expedition, and Georg Steller's significant discoveries as an early naturalist.
