Más información sobre el libro
A magnificent celebration of 175 years of the Royal Geographical Society, from the early expeditions of Livingstone and Stanley in Africa, to the postwar explorations atop Mount Everest. This superb book assembles a stunning visual record - including maps, original documents and artifacts, as well as more than 400 photographs (the majority in full colour) - that the Royal Geographical Society and those it has sponsored have gathered throughout its history. * The Royal Geographical Society was founded in 1830 and has evolved into the largest geographical society in Europe, and one of the largest in the world. It plays a vital role in all aspects of geography, making an important contribution to our understanding of the world on a regional, international and truly global scale.
