From cavemen to spacemen
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This beautifully and intelligibly formatted oversized book surveys the adventurous from the earliest hominids to the astronauts, with 640 photographs, including 90 maps.An anecdotal text may encourage interested readers to more detailed accounts (a bibliography lists sources by chapter), and the many illustrations portray the people, art and conveyances involved in voyages of Alexander the Great, the Phoenicians, the Vikings, Marco Polo and more. There is a lengthy section on Columbus and subsequent explorers of the New World followed by the great explorers of Africa and the various races to the poles.A breathtaking panorama of art makes this book a stand-out.
