(More customer reviews)WEll as books go this was so so. The writing about Perry was interesting but basically you have a couple of guys who get rich people to pay them for travelling around doing things that had importance a hundred years ago Also I love the lecture on Global warming. OK so they just laid down a carbon footprint the size of 250,000 people - two airplane trips to Baffin and seperate plane flights into restock them 4 or so times - hmm lets see they burnt up enough hydrocarbons for 100 lifetimes but they are going to tell us about global wamring - done like true liberals - its OK for me to use fuel but you shouldnt. Yea Right !
....and then we have "Sir Wally" Come on folks are we serious ??? Do people actually go around calling themselves 'sir' wally or Lord Wally. Then we have the RGS Royal Geographic Service - now this society may have made sense a hundred years ago but today?? !! NOt when you can fly into any place you want on the earth in less than a day - so instead we will handicap ourselves Lets see I will be the first person to walk across antarctica backwards with a mirror - yea thats a great idea!
... fumbling around looking to repeat 100 year old challenges - well hey if someone is dumb enough to pay you to do it go ahead!!
