Here are the stories of nine great adventures and the lives of the men who took part in them. They pushed back the frontiers of man's knowledge of the world by their vision, courage and sheer doggedness. They were very different people - from bold adventurers facing the unknown with enjoyment to careful, more scientific individuals. Their journeys are placed within their historical context, but also contain the words of the men themselves. Written especially for Naxos Audiobooks.

This 2 disc audiobook set covers over 2 and a half hours of stories featuring some of the world's greatest explorers. As a homeschooling Mom, this set has been a valuable resource.

This 2 disc audiobook set covers over 2 and a half hours of stories featuring some of the world's greatest explorers. As a homeschooling Mom, this set has been a valuable resource. Our children have been able to learn without having to read in a book, they can listen anywhere (car, outside, their rooms, etc) and it helps make the lives of these great explorers seem real and personal and not just something they read about in History & Geography. I highly recommend this set to anyone who has children or families who homeschool.
