Description

This comprehensive volume explores the intricate, mutually dependent relationship between science and exploration-how each has repeatedly built on the discoveries of the other and, in the process, opened new frontiers. * Includes biographical sketches of important figures such as Jacques Cousteau, Charles Darwin, Neil Armstrong, and Edwin Hubble * Uses primary and secondary source documents extensively in an easily readable narrative that places the history of science and exploration in its broader social and cultural context
