This was a fantastic book that had me so engrossed from the very start. The book goes through 25 very amazing journeys across unknown or uncharted territories. 

It starts with a list of items that each person took with them. Then explains what happens on their journeys. It flowed fantastically. The author wrote with a very fascinating , insightful ,and easy to flow style. I could of read this book forever it just kept my interest throughout. This book is a brilliant page turner that I just couldn't put down. I had to finish it in one sitting which ment I had one very late night. I just wanted to know how these fascinating expeditions would end as there was some edge of your seat or shocking endings. My favourite was a woman who wanted to travel the world in 80 days but wasn't taken serious. I won't give more than that away but it was brilliant. The book included a short insight into the author own travels along the Amazon River from source to mouth. There was certainly some very scary moments. 

Only the highest of praise goes out to the author and publishers for bringing us this absolutely wonderful book of human endurance. I will definitely be looking out for more books by this fantastic author.

Books like these are really popular with readers here at our library. I have a lot of patrons that look for books that talk about the fun and epic expeditions, journeys, and adventures of others. Books like these are perfect for readers with an adventurous spirit that might not be able to experience epic expeditions of their own.

This is a title for most if not all ages to explore! The book takes a look at 25 different expeditions. Some of them are well known while others might be less so. A fun read to add to library shelves whether its your own or for the public.

This book talks about 25 Epic Expeditions that in a way changed the world. Some of them are known, I think, by everyone. So, I was happy to discover other expeditions that took place and I had no idea about them. I think it's perfect for kids or teenagers to find out more about the world and the people who discovered it or conquered some parts of it, but it's perfect for adults as well.
