Reviews

AWESOME EFFORT


(4.5 stars)

Verne's ability to assemble and organize such numerous and diverse piles of information is simply amaziing. this well-organized set of three volumns is well worth a listen. The last volume gets a bit tedious with the African exploration, but all else is good.

A great historical review


(5 stars)

An interesting insight into the lives and adventures of those who first mapped the world
