ADVENTURES THAT CHANGED OUR WORLD
Explorers are true adventurers: they are all united by curiosity about the unknown. Over centuries they have collected extensive knowledge about our planet's oceans and continents, climate, fauna and flora and drawn the world map we know today. Their expeditions, which continue to shape our understanding of the world today, are summarized in this colorfully illustrated volume. Discover the World features a variety of researchers and explorers.
Sail with the Vikings, meet the Sherpas who climbed Mount Everest and meet the astronauts who ventured beyond Earth's boundaries into space. Discover the World sheds light on the people who made these adventures possible with their knowledge of the country and language and tells stories of courage and curiosity.
