"Faces of Exploration" is a lavishly produced collection of
interviews, photographs and biographies of fifty of the world's
most famous and inspirational explorers. It will appeal to anyone
motivated by examples of human endeavour, fascinated by exploration
or interested in what makes people risk their lives to undertake
epic journeys. Anthropologists, ethnologists, cavers, climbers,
balloonists, pilots, astronauts, polar specialists, desert
explorers, and sailors are all included. Each pioneer has been
interviewed and photographed exclusively by award-winning
photographer Joanna Vestey. Best-selling travel writer Justin
Marozzi compliments the stunning images with evocative text, an
additional photograph is supplied by the explorers themselves from
their personal archives. Many were previously unpublished. "Faces
of Exploration" is the first collection to focus entirely on
contemporary explorers. It is endorsed with the double authority of
the Royal Geographic Society and the Explorers Club, and is filled
with inspirational stories and images that will bring this defining
period of history to life. Explorers featured include: Sir Ranulph
Fiennes, Dame Ellen MacArthur, Buzz Aldrin, Sir Edmund Hilary, Sir
Richard Branson, Steve Fossett, Sir Chris Bonnington, Bear Grylls,
Jean-Michel Cousteau, and many more.
