Flight of the Falcon: Scott's Journey to the South Pole 1910-1912
ISBN: 9780889623552 / Angielski / Miękka / 151 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. There is a major fascination today with high risk adventure stories, such as Shackleton's voyage to Antarctica, Mallory's attempt to climb Mount Everest in 1929, the sinking of the Titanic, etc. One of the most astonishing voyages was Scott's journey to the South Pole in 1912. Flight of the Falcon is a literary attempt to recreate the journey. The book is comprised of three elements-excerpts from Scott's own journal, Wainwright's poetic recreation of the experiences of the explorers and original photographs from the explorers. Woven together, this book is wonderful reading and a genuine...

The South Pole, Volume 1
ISBN: 9781421833040 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. On February 10, 1911, we started for the South to establish depots, and continued our journey until April 11. We formed three depots and stored in them 3 tons of provisions, including 22 hundredweight of seal meat. As there were no landmarks, we had to indicate the position of our depots by flags, which were posted at a distance of about four miles to the east and west. The first barrier afforded the best going, and was specially adapted for dog-sledging. Thus, on February 15 we did sixty-two miles with sledges. Each sledge weighed 660 pounds, and we had six dogs for each. The upper barrier...

The book defines the discourse of the Arctic as it is manifested in the political region-building of the area, in the boom from the 1970s to the present, and traces this development and related conceptions historically, into polar history and the period of romanticism in the 1800s and earlier.

ISBN: 9780803216396 / Angielski / Miękka / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Robert Falcon Scott s 1901 4 expedition to the Antarctic was a landmark event in the history of Antarctic exploration, creating a sensation comparable to the Arctic efforts of the American Robert E. Peary. Scott s initial expedition was also the first step toward the dramatic race to the South Pole in 1912, which resulted in the tragic deaths of Scott and his companions. Since then Scott s reputation has vacillated between two extremes: Was he a martyred hero, the beau ideal of a brave and selfless explorer, or a bumbling fool whose mistakes killed him and his entire party?Pilgrims...

Spencer Apollonio has written the only known overview of the history of this region, summarizing indigenous settlements over four millennia, and...
