Intrepid explorers - Anita Ganeri

Geography with the gritty bits left in|Does geography grind you down? Fed up with miserable maps, rottenrock piles and tiresome tests? Wave goodbye to boring geographlessons as you step into the wide world of globetrotting IntrepidExplorers..* Marvel! as Ferdinand Magellan is first to sail around the world.* Shudder! as Mary Kingsley finds body bits in her jungle hut.* Shiver! as Captain Scott reaches the South Pole (only to find he'sbeen beaten to it).And if that's not daring enough for you... find out how some intrepidexplorers found their way without maps, why others always travelledin disguise, and what really happened on the expeditionsin their secret diaries. It's earth-shatteringly exciting!Geography has never been so horrible!
