hardcover. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

SUMMARY: "Sir Vivian Fuchs and Sir Edmund Hillary have recently conquered Antarctica in an exploit which has astonished and thrilled the world. Each man, within the same expedition, achieved a brilliant success, the scientific results of which may prove to be far-reaching in their effect on the Commonwealth. Gerald Bowman, the author of this book, tells the full story of their triumph and discusses the many controversial aspects of the event which led up to it. He relates the achievements of these two outstanding Polar explorers to the successes -- and failures -- of previous expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctic, led by men of many nations whose names for a gallant company; Robert Falcon Scott; the indomitable Norwegian, Roald Amundsen, Shackleton; the brilliant Irishman; Admiral Byrd, the American who used a new method -- aircraft -- for Polar flight, and so to the recent Fuchs-Hillary epic. All who are interested in exploration and the struggles of dedicated men to overcome fearful obstacles will be absorbed and stimulated by this book."
