‎+++ In August 1914, days before the outbreak of the First World War, the renowned explorer Ernest Shackleton and a crew of twenty-seven set sail for the South Atlantic in pursuit of the last unclaimed prize in the history of exploration: the first crossing on foot of the Antarctic continent. Weaving a treacherous path through the freezing Weddell Sea, they had come within eighty-five miles of their destination when their ship, Endurance, was trapped fast in the ice pack. Soon the ship was crushed like matchwood, leaving the crew stranded on the floes. Their ordeal would last for twenty months, and they would make two near-fatal attempts to escape by open boat before their final rescue. Drawing upon previously unavailable sources, Caroline Alexander gives us a riveting account of Shackleton's expedition--one of history's greatest epics of survival. And she presents the astonishing work of Frank Hurley, the Australian photographer whose visual record of the adventure has never before been published comprehensively. Together, text and image re-create the terrible beauty of Antarctica, the awful destruction of the ship, and the crew's heroic daily struggle to stay alive, a miracle achieved largely through Shackleton's inspiring leadership. The survival of Hurley's remarkable images is scarcely less miraculous: The original glass plate negatives, from which most of the book's illustrations are superbly reproduced, were stored in hermetically sealed cannisters that survived months on the ice floes, a week in an open boat on the polar seas, and several more months buried in the snows of a rocky outcrop called Elephant Island. Finally Hurley was forced to abandon his professional equipment; he captured some of the most unforgettable images of the struggle with a pocket camera and three rolls of Kodak film. Published in conjunction with the American Museum of Natural History's landmark exhibition on Shackleton's journey, The Endurance thrillingly recounts one of the last great adventures in the Heroic Age of exploration--perhaps the greatest of them all.

‎Russian Embassies to the Georgian Kings 1589-1605‎

‎2 Volumes: xxxii368 pages with frontispiece five folding maps and ten plates; ix369-640 pages with frontispiece two folding maps six plates bibliography and index. Octavo 8 3/4" x 5 1/2" issued in blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine and gilt sailing ship to front cover. Translated by Anthony Mango. Second Series volumes 138 and 139. First edition.<br /><br />By the early sixteenth century the loosely knit kingdom of Georgia had disintegrated from the strong monarch of the middle ages to a number of small states and principalities. This internal disunity made the Georgians easy victims of the power politics of the neighboring Ottoman and Safavid empires and by the end of the century the southward drive of the Russians intensified the struggle for military and diplomatic control over the whole of the Caucasian isthmus. As a result of this struggle seventeen embassies were exchanged between the Russian tsars and the Georgian kins ruling in Kakheti during the years 1564-1605. W E D Allen and Anthony Mango who undertook the translation have selected the documents relating to the embassies of 1589-90 and 1604-5. Although the writers seem to be frequently pre-occupied with questions of protocol their observations give a clear picture both of current Russian administrative and diplomatic practice and of the life and customs of the people of the Caucasus and Georgia. The texts are further enlivened by dramas such as the murder of the Kakhian King Alexander II and the secret negotiations for the marriages of the son and daughter of the Tsar Boris Godunov. The documents are of considerable geographical interest as they provide the earliest extant accounts of the crossing of the main chain of the Caucasus from north to south. Allen provides both a detailed background introduction and full commentary and notes on the texts. The second volume also contains some valuable genealogical tables which clarify the complicated relationships between the Caucasian royal and princely families and their connection with the Russian Ottoman and Persian ruling houses.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Some light rubbing to spine ends else better than very good copies in like jackets.

Systematic observation however dates only from the last years of the nineteenth century with the epic drift of Fridtjof Nansen�s ice ship Fram 1893-1896 the first scientific expedition of the modern era. Twentieth-century technology�the icebreaker radio transmission nuclear power and aircraft�opened the Arctic for survey basic research and observation. World War II saw the inhospitable circumpolar Arctic transformed into a theater of military operations.The Cold War and the missile age saw governments staking further claims because only a relatively short arc of maritime boreal waste separated North America and Eurasia. The complex interactions of air ice and water that drive circumpolar systems also serve as engines of oceanic and atmospheric circulation. As a result meteorology oceanography geophysics and many other areas of scientific research in the region soon became acutely linked to the economic political and particularly the politico-military interests of the Soviet Union the United States Canada and the other Arctic nations.In response both superpowers established �drift stations��that is isolated camps based on nomadic ice floes�to conduct crucial scientific research. During the Cold War they were the objects of suspicion particularly the Soviet stations which often stood accused as bases for espionage. Today with the world�s climate system and global warming under study Russian expertise data geography and stewardship are crucial to the world community." . Potomac Books Inc. hardcover‎
