Ten Explorers Who Changed the World
10 Explorers Who Changed the World (10 Series)
Ten Explorers Who Changed the World
David Cousens, Clive Gifford
Everyone knows who Marco Polo and Christopher Columbus were. But do they know that Christopher Columbus owned a copy of Polo's book The Travels of Marco Polo, full of Columbus's own handwritten notes that served as inspiration and research for his famous journey? This amazing link and nine more are the basis for this highly original look at great explorers. By drawing a line from Polo and Magellan to Lewis and Clark and right down to Jacques Yves-Cousteau, readers will never think about history the same way again.

Ten Explorers Who Changed the World review by MCal_BCL
Profile Picture
MCal_BCL

10 Explorers Who Changed the World is about ten different explorers and the adventures they had. It tells facts you probably all ready knew about the explorers and facts that you might not be able to find in a textbook. After each story about the explorer there is a Life Link. A Life Link tells you how the explorer you read about and the next explorer are related. For example, after a short story about Marco Polo there is a Life Link that tells how The Travels of Marco Polo inspired Christopher Columbus.
