"This book is a history of exploration--from the first voyages of the ancient Greeks, Egyptians, and Phoenicians, to humanity's first ventures beyond the confines of our own planet. Each chapter covers a particular continent, presents the biographies of the explorers closely identified with each region, and relates the significance of their most important discoveries to the wider world."--Publisher.
