The discovery and mapping of the world, its peoples, oceans and
continents, are the result of centuries of exploration. This book
traces the history of such travel and the pioneers who pushed back
the frontiers of the known world. It explains the reasons for their
journeys, whether out of scientific curiosity, to create trading
opportunities, to spread religious beliefs or for personal gain or
glory.With the aid of over 250 illustrations, maps and photographs,
this accessible reference work captures all the excitement and
spirit of adventure.
