Felipe Fernández-Armesto 
Pathfinders: A Global History of Exploration [EPUB ebook] 

支持

‘A brilliant and readable book…a rich study of humankind’s restless spirit.’ —Candice Millard, New York Times Book Review

Greeted with coast-to-coast acclaim on publication, Fernández-Armesto’s ambitious history of world exploration sets a new standard. Presenting the subject for the first time on a truly global scale, Fernández-Armesto tracks the pathfinders who, over the past five millennia, lay down the routes of contact that have drawn together the farthest reaches of the world.

The Wall Street Journal calls it ‘impressive…a huge story [told] with gusto and panache.’ To the Washington Post, ‘Pathfinders is propelled by an Argonaut of an author, indefatigable and daring. It’s a wild ride.’ And in a front-page review, the Seattle Times hails its ‘tart and elegant presentation…full of surprises. Fernández-Armesto’s lively mind, pithy phrasing, and stunningly thorough and diverse knowledge are a constant pleasure.’

A plenitude of illustrations and maps in color and black and white augment this rich history. In Pathfinders, winner of the 2007 World History Association Book Prize, we have a definitive treatment of a grand subject.
