Exploration - Hardcover

Grade 6-9 Lomask's study focuses upon 25 significant geographical explorers arranged alphabetically from Roald Amundsen to Amerigo Vespucci, covering a time span from the Fourth Century to 1957. Articles are concise and easy to read, averaging nine pages in length. Most subjects are well known, although Lomask has also included less-noted individuals such as Francisco de Orellana and Hoei-shin. Complete with an index, bibliography, chronological list of important explorations, plus illustrations, Great Lives: Exploration supplements the existing literature and is guaranteed to supplement the social studies or history curriculum.
