Since the dawn of time, people have wanted to know what lies hidden beyond the horizon. Stewart Ross and Stephen Biesty have set out to trace the paths of the boldest explorers—from the depths of the ocean to outer space. Starting with Pytheas the Greek, who sailed to the Arctic Circle in 340 BC without a compass, to the Apollo 11 mission that landed on the moon in 1969. Particularly impressive are the fantastic fold-out cross-sections. They not only show the route of each of the 14 expeditions but also take us aboard legendary ships like the Trinidad and the Endeavour, immerse us in Nobile's gondola and Piccard's diving capsule, and let us experience the flight to the moon in all its phases. This beautifully designed book turns its readers into explorers themselves, discovering something new on each of the twelve fold-out posters. Featuring 12 fold-out posters.
