Editorial Reviews

Review
'We're all hooked on heroes...and here's a magnificent book packed with more than 50 of them, carrying first hand accounts and original pictures from the bravest of the brave, capturing the golden moments of adventure - triumphant, dramatic, perilous and tragic...Quite wonderful.' MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS (20.8.05) 'The Explorer's Eye is the story of exploration through the protagonists' illustrations as well as words, and the pleasure of it is that these match the text in their ingenuity and originality...This is an absorbing, stirriing and altogether welcome addition to my overcrowded shelves of traveller's tales. I recommend every armchair traveller (and any one else in need of inspiration) to find space for their own copy.' -- Benedict Allen INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY (25.9.05) 'A gripping collection of diary entries, photographs and sketches of 50 explorers.' WANDERLUST (October 2005) 'an enchanting read...gripping reading.' -- Sara Wheeler GUARDIAN (15.10.05) 'In the great age of exploration, many of the scientists, sailors and adventures who roamed the world chronicled their thoughts and feelings, creating a vivid portrait of the unknown. This anthology offers 50 such personal accounts, from the likes of David Livingstone, Captain Cook and Ernest Shackleton, illustrated with period images.' TRAVELLER (Sept/Oct 2005) '[a] gripping first hand testimony...wonderfully exciting and yet enjoyably un-portentous.' -- Michael Kerrigan SCOTSMAN (17.12.05) 'An immensely readable selection of eyewitness accounts of 54 journeys into the unknown. Superb illustrations accompany this exhilarating, chronologically organised collection.' GOOD BOOK GUIDE (January 2006) 'crisply designed, superbly illustrated and utterly absorbing...a true treasure trove.' WARSHIP INTERNATIONAL FLEET REVIEW (January 2006) 'If you buy just one book on exploration, this should be it.' SUNDAY BUSINESS POST (18.12.05) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
