This superb book assembles a stunning visual record - including maps, original documents and artifacts, as well as more than 400 photographs (the majority in full colour) - that the Royal Geographical Society and those it has sponsored have gathered throughout its history. The quality and breadth of coverage make this a spectacular record of events and an unrivalled resource, which is not only fascinating to read but breathtaking to look at. Emphasising the human dimension of the RGS´s work, the book is a tribute to the determination and sense of purpose of those whose life and work have been closely associated with the Society.
