Cuzco and Lima: A Journey to the Ancient Capital of Peru, and a Visit to the Capital and Provinces of Modern Peru

Franklin's Footsteps: A Sketch of Greenland, Along the Shores of Which His Expedition Passed, and of the Parry Isles, Where the Last Traces
ISBN: 9781108048385 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 162 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Clement Robert Markham (1830 1916) was a geographer who took part in one of the many Arctic expeditions launched to search for missing explorer John Franklin (1786 1847).

They had found some evidence of Franklin's route he had set off in May 1845 to find the North-West Passage but returned to Britain without any of the survivors. Markham gives a brief history of Arctic exploration, but the majority of the book recounts the expedition's efforts to find Franklin. The crew endured a harsh winter and sailed...

Travels in Peru and India: While Superintending the Collection of Chinchona Plants and Seeds in South America, and Their Introduction Into India
ISBN: 9781108046718 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 618 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Sir Clements Robert Markham (1830 1916) had a lifelong interest in Peru. Having already travelled there in his early twenties, he was commissioned to return ten years later to supervise the collection of sufficient specimens of the cinchona tree for its introduction to India.

This book, originally published in 1862, is Markham's personal account of his travels. His story moves from the misty heights of the Peruvian mountains, where he suffered from altitude sickness, to...
