5.0 out of 5 stars A superior edition of Shackleton's first book, February 14, 2000
This review is from: The Heart of the Antarctic: The Farthest South Expedition, 1907-1909 (Paperback)
This is a very nice, somewhat abridged edition of "Heart of the Antarctic." Compared with the Carroll & Graf trade edition, this does have some bits edited from the expedition preparations and the account of the Furthest South journey, but, unlike the Carroll & Graf edition, it has Professor David's account of the march to the South Magnetic Pole and an account of the Northern Party journey and so is overall a better text. The selection of pictures is decent, although there is one photo that I suspect is from the 1912 Scott expedition (of a tracked motor-sledge; the Shackleton expedition had only a car with it). The story of the British Antarctic Expedition is just as exciting as the doomed Endurance voyage, and I would highly recommend this edition to everyone interested in Shackleton and his adventures.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books I ever read!, July 26, 2006

Book lover (Storrs, Connecticut, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Heart of the Antarctic: The Farthest South Expedition, 1907-1909 (Paperback)
This was a terrific book. First you have to wade through the dull aspects at the beginning on equipment which was helpful in its day, but once you get through that, it is really a gripping story. I could barely put the book down, I hated leaving Shackleton and his party stuck in a blizzard while I stopped to get a cup of tea. You will really enjoy this book, it is very well worth it!
