Review:
DK Readers knows how to pull in young readers to discover the world and the greatest adventures.  The book will have readers coming back to this book as a reference as well as finding new information every times readers open the book. The book covers Ancient Greeks, Zheng, and some of the greatest explorers and some of the lesser known.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher DK Publishing for the advance copy of Nellie Huang Explorers.


Synopsis:
The book urge to explore the unknown has driven human progress. DK's Explorers tells the story of humanity's explorations, taking the reader into the lives of some of the most intrepid people ever known. Focusing on 50 of the world's greatest explorers, with shorter entries on 60 of their helpers and companions, the book is filled with first-person accounts in the explorers' own words, rare maps, specially commissioned photographs, and artworks re-create history's greatest expeditions. From trade and the search for lands to colonize, to scientific curiosity and missionary zeal, Explorers introduces history's most famous trail blazers-people whose courage opened frontiers, turned voids into maps, forged nations, connected cultures, and added to humankind's knowledge of the world by leaps and bounds.
