This book traces the history of travel and discovery, and the pioneering travellers who pushed back the frontiers of the known world. It explains the reasons for their journeys, whether out of scientific curiosity, to create trading opportunities, to spread religious beliefs or for personal gain and glory. With the help of a wealth of illustrations, maps and photographs, this book charts the most daring and life-changing journeys of all time, from the first Mediterranean expeditions of 4,000 years ago to the present-day quest for life in outer space. "Exploring History" is a series of books that takes the reader through time, exploring the reality of what it was like to live in the past.
