The Story
What does it feel like to walk off the edge of a map? To walk upon the moon, or stand on the roof of the world? Benedict Allen's anthology of human exploration presents the words of those who have set off into 'the unknown' and returned to tell the tale. This volume is the first fully-ranging anthology of the subject, bringing together Vikings and cosmonauts, conquistadors and botanists. There is no doubting Benedict Allen's voracious appetite for exploration, and as such he is our ideal guide across these extraordinary pages.
