Hamilton's
115 entries in this set describe the courses and discoveries of significant scientific expeditions from the early 15th
century to mid 2009. Chapters range in content from “Discovery, Age of” to “Maps and Mapmaking.”
Along with describing the accomplishments of, for example, Charles Darwin, Neil Armstrong, and Heinrich Schliemann, the
author discusses the work of the Leakey family, the lesser-known journeys of explorers such as Mary Kingsley and
Mexican-American botanist Ynes Mexia, and the spectacular if sometimes stuntlike adventures of Richard Francis Burton,
Thor Heyerdahl, and Robert Ballard. Each chapter opens with a time line and closes with a brief further-reading list.
Many also feature a relevant side essay, “see” references, and one or more small, muddy black-and-white
prints or photos. The prose is as staid as the book design, but aside from occasional slips (such as a bald claim that
Burton “discovers Lake Tanganyika”), the presentations are systematic, carefully detailed, not exclusively
Eurocentric, and when appropriate, skeptical. The currency of information and focus on science will make this work
particularly useful alongside such broader but more dated resources as Peggy Saari and Daniel B. Baker's multivolume
Explorers and Discoverers from Alexander the Great to Sally Ride
Although many geographic expeditions and
explorations were designed to increase the sphere of influence of a particular nation, the participants often included
doctors, scientists, mathematicians, engineers, and others who were able to observe and collect scientific data. These
alphabetically arranged volumes contain 56 entries for explorers (Darwin, Charles; Perry, Robert E.); expeditions (Lewis
and Clark expedition; Space exploration, manned); locations (Arctic, Pacific explorations); institutions (International
Geophysical Year, National Geographic Society); and similar topics. The goal is “to provide an embarkation point
for a wide-ranging investigation into the history of scientific exploration from the Age of Discovery to the
twenty-first century.” Each entry begins with a chronology and may include photos, maps, and illustrations as well
as a list of recommended resources and see also references. A list of sidebars explaining specific topics (for example,
“Building the Kon-Tiki” in the entry about Thor Heyerdahl) is included at the beginning of volume 1, along
with a table of contents and a topic finder. A glossary, bibliography, and index are found at the end of the second
volume. Although many general researchers will find this information helpful, the set will be most useful for students
in high school. Recommended for school and public libraries.
