Heroic Failure and the British
ISBN: 9780300180060 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. From the Charge of the Light Brigade to Scott of the Antarctic and beyond, it seems as if glorious disaster and valiant defeat have been essential aspects of the British national character for the past two centuries.

Antarctic Destinies: Scott, Shackleton, and the Changing Face of Heroism
ISBN: 9781847251923 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 412 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book covers the two most famous expeditions of the heroic age of Antarctic exploration, Robert Falcon Scott's Terra Nova expedition of 1910-12 and Ernest Shackleton's Endurance expedition of 1914-16.

In recent years, however, Scott has attracted some of the most intense criticism any...
