‎Ice Ship: The Epic Voyages Of The Polar Adventurer Fram‎

‎University Press of New England: Hanover and London:. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. In the golden age of polar exploration from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s many an expedition set out to answer the big question�was the Arctic a continent an open ocean beyond a barrier of ice or an ocean covered with ice No one knew for the ice had kept its secret well; ships trying to penetrate it all failed often catastrophically. Norway's charismatic scientist-explorer Fridtjof Nansen convinced that it was a frozen ocean intended to prove it in a novel if risky way: by building a ship capable of withstanding the ice joining others on an expedition then drifting wherever it took them on a relentless one-way journey into discovery and fame . . . or oblivion. Ice Ship is the story of that extraordinary ship the Fram from conception to construction through twenty years of three epic expeditions to its final resting place as a museum. It is also the story of the extraordinary men who steered the Fram over the course of 84000 miles: on a three-year ice-bound drift finding out what the Arctic really was; in a remarkable four-year exploration of unmapped lands in the vast Canadian Arctic; and on a two-year voyage to Antarctica where another famous Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen claimed the South Pole. Ice Ship will appeal to all those fascinated with polar exploration maritime adventure and wooden ships and will captivate readers of such books as The Endurance In the Heart of the Sea and The Last Place on Earth. With more than 100 original photographs the book brings the Fram to life and light. University Press of New England: Hanover and London: hardcover‎

‎Caput Nili. Eine empfindsame Reise zu den Quellen des Nils. Reprint der 6. Auflage, Berlin 1921. Mit einem Vorwort v. Ulrich Löber u. einem Beitrag v. Reinhart Bindseil.‎

‎Gutes Exemplar; Einband etwas berieben. - Mit beiliegender Faltkarte. - Faksimile in Frakturschrift. - Richard Kandt (vor 1894 Richard Kantorowicz; * 17. Dezember 1867 in Posen; † 29. April 1918 in Nürnberg) war ein deutscher Arzt und Afrikaforscher. ... Zwischen 1897 und 1907 erforschte er den Nordwesten von Deutsch-Ostafrika und wurde 1906 zum Kaiserlichen Residenten der mit Verordnung vom 20. Juni 1906 und mit Wirkung vom 15. November 1907 geschaffenen Residentur Ruanda von Deutsch-Ostafrika berufen. Kandt traf im August 1907 in Ruanda ein und gründete noch im gleichen Jahr seinen Residentensitz Kigali. Im Frühjahr 1914 war er zu einem Urlaub nach Deutschland gekommen und konnte wegen des Ausbruchs des Ersten Weltkrieges im August 1914 nicht nach Ruanda zurückkehren. Bald nach Kriegsausbruch meldete er sich als Arzt und ging an die Ostfront. … Kandt ist in Ruanda noch heute eine hoch geachtete Person. In seinem Haus in Kigali ist ein Naturkundemuseum eingerichtet worden und dort wird in einem Raum auch über ihn informiert … (wiki) // „Caput Nili" - Eine empfindsame Reise zu den Quellen des Nils erschien erstmals 1904, knapp zwei Jahre nach Kandts Rückkehr aus Ruanda. Das Werk wurde ein Erfolg, die zweite Auflage folgte schnell. Als der Verfasser sein Buch Anfang 1914 für die dritte Auflage in Form von ergänzenden Anmerkungen überarbeitete, versah er seine einführenden Worte mit der Überschrift „Zur dritten Fahrt". 1919, als die vierte Auflage erscheinen sollte, weilte Kandt nicht mehr unter den Lebenden. Sein langjähriger Freund, der Afrikaforscher Franz Stuhlmann, widmete dem Gefallenen einen Nachruf, den er „Zur vierten Fahrt" überschrieb. ... (Vorwort U.

‎Sir Francis Drake's West Indian Voyage 1585-86‎

‎xiv358 pages with frontispiece map 15 plates 3 maps appendices bibliography and index. Octavo 8 3/4" x 5 3/4" issued in blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine and gilt pictorial sailing ship to front cover. Second series volume 148. First edition.<br /><br />Significant in the history of Anglo-Spanish relations and of English ventures was Drake's expedition to the West indies in 1585-86. His raids on Spanish towns on both sides of the Atlantic were aimed not only to gather treasure but to bring a military challenge to the empire of Phillip II. The voyage was lined also with the plantation projects of Raleigh and ended with Drake bring home the discouraged settlers of the first Virginia colony. Although not a financial success the expedition attracted wide attention in England and on the continent and was a prelude to the events of 1588. For over three centuries after the voyage the main source of information about it was the lively narrative strongly propagandistic in tone that was published in 1588 and 1589. In the present volume this account attributed to Captain Walter Bigges has been critically edited in the light of evidence now available from English and Spanish sources. Printed also are the documents relating to ships and personnel and to financial accounts of the expedition. Included too are the journal from the vice-admiral's ship the Primrose edited from the original manuscript the fragmentary journals from ships of two other major officers and an important newsletter. Among the illustrations are a previously unpublished map relating to Drake's stop at Vigo as well as the Boazio maps which are shown in differing sizes and details. Mary Frear Keller's introduction discusses the expedition in the context of Elizabethan policies in the pre-Armada years. She point out new evidence on Drake's administrative practices on his negotiations with Spanish officials and on his dealings with a troublesome rear-admiral. Appendices provide critical notes on the Boazio maps and the circumstances of the publication of the Bigges account.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Light rubbing to jacket edges else a better than very good copy in like jacket.
