The Greatest Show in the Arctic, Volume 82: The American Exploration of Franz Josef Land, 1898-1905
ISBN: 9780806152226 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 648 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In Gilded Age America, Arctic explorers were fabulous celebrities--assured of riches and near-immortality so long as they reached the North Pole first. Of the many attempts to meet that goal, three American expeditions, launched from the Russian archipelago of Franz Josef Land, ended in abject failure, their exploits consigned to near-oblivion. Even so, these ventures--the Wellman expedition (1898-99), the Baldwin-Ziegler (1901-2), and the Fiala-Ziegler (1903-5)--have much to tell us about the personalities, politics, and economics of exploration in their day. In The Greatest Show... In Gilded Age America, Arctic explorers were fabulous celebrities--assured of riches and near-immortality so long as they reached the North Pol... |
