To the farthest ends of the earth: 150 years world of exploration by the Royal Geographical Society

---

The story of the past one hundred and fifty years of global exploration is inextricably bound up with that of the Royal Geographical Society. It is a stirring account of courage, dedication, stubborn valour, and, at times, of supreme sacrifice.
To the Farthest Ends of the Earth is a highly readable, carefully researched account, superbly illustrated with over 50 pictures in full colour and 250 sketches and photographs in black and white, nearly all from the Society's archives. Here are the original sketches by explorers such as Livingstone and Speke, many fine paintings and water colours-most previously unpublished- by expedition artist, and some magnificent example of the work of early and contemporary photographer.
