Explorers House: National Geographic and the World It Made Paperback - 2006
by Robert Poole
For over one hundred years, National Geographic has brought 'the world and all that's in it' to millions of people worldwide. Through its unparalleled research, exploration, publications, and photography, the organization and its magazine have, in many ways, defined how we see the world. Now Robert Poole's Explorers House offers a vibrant, behind-the-scenes look at National Geographic, from its start in 1888 under the leadership of Alexander Graham Bell and the Grosvenor family to its evolution into one of the world's most esteemed institutions. With unprecedented views and details of some of the magazine's most groundbreaking articles and explorations, Explorers House presents National Geographic from the inside out, from its remarkable family to the very ends of the earth it investigates.
'A wonderfully subtle and exhaustive and even shocking portrait of an age and of an institution.' Paul Theroux
'A great journey.' Caroline Alexander, author of The Bounty and The Endurance
