Seller's Description:
Very Good+ with No dust jacket as issued. 1402770294. Signed by Author; Illustrated boards show very light shelf wear. This edition was originally published with a slipcase, which is missing.; A bright, solid book. Signed by the author on the title page. B&W illustrations and B&W and color photos throughout with a number of fascinating fold-out B&W illustrations and maps at the back of the book; 9.4 X 9.2 X 1.0 inches; 245 pages; "A century ago, England's Robert Falcon Scott and Norway's Roald Amundsen— two explorers with vastly different visions—set out separately for the South Pole. The race between these “ideal antagonists” resulted in grand heroism, bitter tragedy, and the birth and perpetuation of myths that have lingered for generations. 'Race to the End' takes readers along on each team's trek to Antarctica, and farther to the South Pole—a journey through Earth's harshest, most unforgiving terrain. MacPhee's piercing insight and keen storytelling illuminates not only the natural, biological, and scientific detail, but also the human and emotional motivation. He helps answer the philosophical question asked of every person who undertakes a dangerous and epic exploration: why did he do it? These highly illustrated pages feature diary entries; letters from members of the exploration; drawings, paintings, and photographs of the landscape, living quarters, equipment, and methods of transport; as well as never-before-published images of the last items discovered with Scott and his four mates who perished upon their return from the pole mere miles from the warmth and safety of their base camp."
