1.The Last Place on Earth (Modern Library Exploration)The Last Place on Earth (Modern Library Exploration)
from Modern Library
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:
This book is so good and so changed the hero worship apologist views of Scott that, all by itself, it spawned a whole set of NEW apologist rebuttals. Some of these books just can't accept the truth, and perhaps the only one that deserves a response is the work by Susan Solomon, a meteorologist, who... more info

3.Farthest NorthFarthest North
from Gerald Duckworth & Co Ltd

Customer Review:
If you like adventure, this one is for you.

enjoyed.

4.ShackletonShackleton
from Abacus

Customer Review:
I cannot praise this book enough. It is an amazing account of an astounding man. It starts very early in his life and continues throughout. I was especially interested in the Endurance, so I glad they went into that. This is a great book, and a great look into this man's amazing life. I highly... more info

5.NansenNansen
from Little, Brown Book Group
Price: $22.76

Customer Review:
I am familiar with seven Nansen biographies and Huntford's is the most comprehensive, realistic and detailed. I believe that every thinking adult should learn something about Fridtjof Nansen, largely because his way of solving problems would help us to face our uncertain future. Huntford's book is... more info

6.[no image]The South Pole: An Account of the Norwegian Antarctic Expecition in the "Fram," 1910-1912
from Hurst & Co.

Customer Review:
Wonderful. Strong. Beautiful. It is a great book. You end up thinking that the five hundred pages are not enought. Amundsen is the project management himself. It is a pleasure to read such an adventure in a such complete edition, with all maps, photos, cientific info, etc. Highly recommended.

7.The Shackleton VoyagesThe Shackleton Voyages
from Weidenfeld Nicolson Illustrated

Customer Review:
This is the twelfth book I've read that covers some aspect of the Shackleton story (or stories, there were more than one expedition). With the knowledge gained and the information learned, I can get rid of the other eleven off my shelves. This edition is an excellent summary of them all, and... more info

8.Life s Philosophy: Reason and Feeling in a Deeper WorldLife's Philosophy: Reason and Feeling in a Deeper World
from University of Georgia Press
Price: $20.48

Customer Review:
A fairly dense book to read. The founder of the deep ecology movement puts forth his treatise on the importance of emotionality in everyday life and in forming one's belief system. Worth the time.

9.[no image]The Amundsen Photographs
from Hodder & Stoughton Ltd

Customer Review:
Rarely have I read and re-read a book with as much interest as this one. The pictures in the book was thought lost until re-discovered in a loft in Oslo in 1986. It provides an unusual insight into early polar exploration from both a pictoral and literary perspective

10.[no image]Scott and Amundsen
from Weidenfeld & Nicolson

Customer Review:
A good read but.....was it. Factual? Accurate? Balanced?
Wouldn't you expect those basic three elements in a story told? I know I do but maybe I'm too fussy or just naïve.
Otherwise what is the point? Was it purely to destroy a mans reputation sensationally in order to sell the book!... more info
