This unlikely figure entered the rich man's world of polar exploration through an astonishing persistence and succeeded through the same quality. Shackleton's place in history is not the one he set out to make, but his extraordinary deeds have made his contributions to early exploration of Antarctica indelible. Despite the victor's wreath eventually going to another, Shackleton's name is essential to any discussion of Antarctic exploration, based on personal heroism more than logistical triumphs.

El descubrimiento de los manuscritos del Mar Muerto en 1947 es considerado el acontecimiento arqueológico más importante del siglo XX. Los documentos contienen los textos más antiguos de la Biblia hebrea y una amplia colección de escritos que describen el contexto social, político y religioso que se vivía en Jerusalén durante los orígenes del cristianismo. Desde el día en el que unos jóvenes beduinos recuperaron una cabra que se había perdido en una cueva del desierto la leyenda ha acompañado la historia de este descubrimiento.

Mit feinem Gespür für historische Dramatik und psychologische Tiefe zeichnet Stefan Zweig das Porträt eines der kühnsten Entdecker der Menschheitsgeschichte: Ferdinand Magellan. In einer Zeit, in der die Welt noch voller weißer Flecken war, wagt Magellan das scheinbar Unmögliche – die erste Weltumsegelung. Doch Zweigs Biografie ist weit mehr als ein Abenteuerbericht. Sie ist eine literarische Hommage an den unbeirrbaren Willen, die visionäre Kraft und das stille Heldentum eines Mannes, der gegen Widerstände, Intrigen und Naturgewalten kämpft, um eine Idee zu verwirklichen.

In un’opera scritta da un frate milanese del Trecento, Galvano Fiamma, si nasconde una breve menzione di una terra chiamata Marckalada, situata a ovest della Groenlandia. I marinai che viaggiano per i mari del Nord ne parlano come di una terra ricca di alberi e animali, dove si trovano grandi edifici e vivono dei giganti. È una notizia sensazionale: la prima menzione del continente americano nell’area mediterranea, un secolo e mezzo prima del viaggio di Colombo. Ma chi è Galvano Fiamma e da dove ricava queste informazioni? Cosa si sapeva davvero in Italia delle regioni al di là dell’oceano?

After the extinction of the dodo and Carolina parakeet and the collapse of the American bison population, naturalists expected many more vulnerable species to die out with spread of industrialization. This triggered a race to collect rare species of animals expected soon to be lost forever. Established in 1893, Chicago's Field Museum aimed to become a global center of study. Zoologist Daniel Giraud Elliot persuaded museum patrons to fund an immediate expedition to British Somaliland (contemporary Somalia). There, his team hunted and killed hundreds of animals for the growing collection.
