This book describes three periods of geographic exploration: ancient and medieval, European, and post-seventeenth century. Principal explorers and their expeditions are discussed but not in much detail, due to the abbreviated format. The book will be most useful as an introduction for those who know little about the subject. Well-reproduced color photos and maps enhance the text. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind.
