BOOK DESCRIPTION: Discovery: Exploration Through the Centuries captivates the reader as it recreates history through the exhilarating tales of the men who risked death and disgrace in pursuit of undiscovered lands. Since Queen Hatshepsut of Egypt first sent men in search of treasure and resources, man has sought to expand his boundaries. In so doing, the innate human craving for knowledge and a ceaseless curiosity were inrevocably sparked. Discovery Exploration through the Centuries captivates the reader as it recreates history through the exhilarating tales of the men who risked death and disgrace in pursuit of undiscovered lands. What made these men long to seek the unknown? How did they organize their journeys? What did they hope to find? Discovery presents major exploratory achievements through words and pictures, dispelling disproved data and employing previously unknown facts in a lively storytelling style. Discovery begins its story in the land of the Phoenicians, whose explorations opened a trade route to the Atlantic. In following the Greek heroes Jason and Odysseus, Discovery uncovers the myriad paths purposes of their voyages, bringing Homer's The Illiad and The Odyssey to life. What was the Golden Fleece? Discovery unravels the reality behind this and other myths, including information based on Heinrich Schliemann's excavation of the lost city of Troy.. Hard Cover.
