The writing was a little on the plain side, but it did serve to intrigue me. I'll definitely be looking into the lives of Florence Baker, Ida Pfeiffer, Isabella Bird Bishop, Dervla Murphy, and Marriet Chalmers Adams. ( ) "Living with Cannibals" is such a promising title I had hoped for so much more than this book had. This book is comprised of multiple women's adventures. They are paired old and more recent for each type of adventure (artic, Africa, Etc). Each person is covered in about a dozen pages and includes photos (or etchings). It's not a bad book it's just really hard to make each of them sound that much different from one another in such a short space. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
The spirit of adventure sweeps through the chapters of this exciting volume as we encounter the inspiring, sometimes tragic, often humorous tales of adventurous women -- from the 18th century to the 21st century. Selected from National Geographic's rich archives, this colorful group portrait pairs female adventurers of the past with their contemporary counterparts -- in a "then and now" approach. You'll meet Arctic explorers -- an American heiress who crisscrossed ice fields seven decades ago, along with a celebrated New Zealander who skied alone to both North and South Poles in the 1990s. You'll also join in the atmospheric exploits of Shannon Lucid and Amelia Earhart as they take off on those daring flights that wrote a new pages in the annals of aviation. Tour the world with women who defied Victorian convention to venture alone among the headhunters of Borneo or to see first hand the hidden corners of Africa, India, and Japan. Witness world record-breaking moments by such latterday legends as Sylvia Earle, whose explorations of the ocean floor earned her the nickname, "Her Royal Deepness," and Catherine Destivelle, th Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
