Newspapers & Magazines
'The result is a book you could easily sit down and read from cover to cover... A thoroughly worthwhile book...' * Undiscovered Scotland * 'Jo Woolf has compiled a brilliant set of fifty short insights into the lives and achievements of some amazingly brave people... A great way to be introduced to the people behind the names we were introduced to as children: Scott, Amundsen, Heyerdahl and so many more.' * The Bookbag * 'Unique images and never-before-seen material...' * Scots Magazine * 'Spanning 150 years of exploration and adventure, there's some weight to this book, and rightly so ... Through [Woolf's] words we get an inkling of what drove these pioneers, how they engaged with the people they met, and what it would have been like to journey alongside them.' * Scottish Mountaineer *
