| Inhoud | : | From before the days of written history, lands unknown have beckoned to man. | |
| Many ancient legends recount impossible long voyages undertaken by explores in frail | |||
| : | craft - the sixth century Irish monk Brendan may have traveled as far the Caribbean, and | ||
| : | Phoenician sailors probably circumnavigated the African continent 2000 yaers before Vasco da Gama. | ||
| : | Whether in search of aventure or treasure, the desire to travel to uncharted places continued | ||
| : | through the ages, and is unabated today. Man's wanderlust has enabled him to overcome all manner | ||
| : | of natural obstscles in order to explore every inch of the earth's surface. At a time when few people | ||
| : | traveled beyond their native town. Marco Polo's journey to China, or Henry the Navigator's voyages | ||
| : | around Africa were immenseley courageous. | ||
| : | Explores and Exploration covers journeys and voyages across every continent, from the | ||
| : | barbarous activities ot the Conquistadores in Latin America, to the earnest scientist and | ||
| : | empire builders who set out across Asia, Africa and Australia. | ||
