"One vital piece of equipment has been a constant in explorers' kits for centuries of adventure--the sketchbook or journal. Often private, they are records of immediate experiences, insight, and discovery, and in their pages we can see what the explorers themselves encountered. Here are carefully selected excerpts from 70 such sketchbooks from explorers through history to the present, records by men and women who journeyed into frozed wastelands, high mountains, barren deserts, and dense rainforests with their senses and curiosity about the world wide open. Here is the art of discovery."--Back cover.… (meer)

An interesting and different look at the experiences of a varied group of explorers, some of whom were new to me.

What an excellent book. An awful lot of researh and collation has gone into it. Usually these coffee table type illustrated books are pretty anodyne. But here we have a collection of potted histories of explorers and travellers with selected illustrations from their sketchbooks. In a pre-photography age it seems everyone was a dab hand with a pencil and watercolours. And even later when cameras became available, portable and usable many preferred to sit, watch, think and observe before making a sketch or painting. Great to dip into or to read through. ( )

A very beautiful book. ( )

This book is gorgeous! It contains short biographies of various explorers and naturalists along with pages from their journals and sketchbooks that they kept on various outings. There are quick sketches, watercolors, photographs and written notes. This is a short read about some early explorers, some no longer well-remembered with a lot of artwork that is stunning. ( )

The book is absolutely beautiful -- well designed, well produced, well printed. The choice of explorers to feature and excerpts from their journals to reprint is inspired and impressed me with the editors' vast knowledge of the history of exploration. And finally, when they decided to arrange the book not chronologically or by branch of science (if they could so arrange this crowd of polymaths) or geographically but alphabetically, that was brilliant. It puts unexpected individuals from different times and places into juxtaposition, often shedding new light upon both. Spanning all continents, pole to pole, and several centuries, this is the ultimate armchair traveller's coffee table book. ( )

FOREWORD [by Robert Macfarlane]
One of the most remarkable stories in this remarkable book concerns the explorer-missionary David Livingstone.
Three billion miles from Earth, a robotic spacecraft offers the first glimpse of an icy world at the edge of the solar system.

As Clark noted in his journal: 'We find [that she {Sacagawea}] reconciles all Indians, as to our friendly intentions - a woman with a party of men is a token of peace.'
There is so much still to be discovered right here on Earth. Listen to the wisdom found in these notebooks. All you really need is good preparation, some good companions and, certainly, a good pencil. Go and get lost. You might then find what you were looking for. [18]
