It's amazing what you discover when you go exploring! What would we know about our planet if it weren't for the explorers? "Explorer" charts the journeys of intrepid travellers, from Marco Polo to Ibn Battuta to Neil Armstrong, looking at the challenges they faced and the discoveries they made. In an action-packed book, you'll take a trip along the Silk Road, take the first voyage around the world, race to the South Pole, go deep underwater and launch up into space. It is brilliant for homework and school projects, or just for fun! First published July 2006.
