The men who went and looked, telling it themselves. Iles collects first hand accounts from the great explorers of the physical world: the polar attempts, the African rivers, the deep sea soundings, the balloon ascents into air too thin to breathe. Short pieces chosen for the moment the unknown actually gives way, and for the plainness with which each writer describes it happening.
