Book Description
In this golden age of exploration and discovery, our knowledge of this planet is being expanded as never before in human history. Discoveries like plate tectonics, desertification, the hole in the ozone layer, and the greenhouse effect have transformed our understanding of the earth and its climate. And from mountain peaks to ocean floors, untrodden places are being explored for the very first time. The Golden Age of Discovery is a photographic tribute to the adventures, dangers, hardships, and accomplishments of modern expeditions. It also includes profiles of noted explorers as well as features on the main fields of sporting exploration, and John Hemming's text is dramatically enhanced by200 color photos and maps from around the world. John Hemming was Director of the Royal Geographical Society for more than two decades.

Interesting, but not Rover loaded as you might expect. December 29, 2004

This is much more of a National Geographic photo and story book that happens to have around 20 Land Rover photos, than it is a book demonstrating the impact Rovers have had in exploration and discovery.
There are references to Rovers in the text, and about 5 interesting Rover photos, but maybe not worth it? Look for a Camel Trophy book if you want Rovers in action.
