Draws together first person accounts, news reports and obituaries that demonstrate the awe-inspiring lengths to which explorers and adventurers have gone to push back the boundaries of human endeavour. This title collects Gordon Laing's doomed journey to Timbuctoo in 1828, and Captain Webb's epic swim across the English Channel in 1875.
