Aus dem Klappentext

Combining firsthand accounts with original images, The Explorer's Eye gives insight into who these people were, how they operated, and, above all, what they saw. In the early days thier logs included their own pictures. Later they came with qualified draftsmen. Still later they carried cameras, and ultimately they were accompanied by professional film crews.Drawing on a multinational archive of drawings, paintings, photographs, and journals, with expert commentary to set each expedition in context, and an introduction by Michael palin, this book is a unique look at the world we inhabit.
