Intrepid French mariners--including legendary explorers Lapérouse, Bougainville, and Dumont d'Urville, and unsung sailors La Barbinais, Pagès, and Roquefeuil--embark readers on sixteen voyages around the world from 1714 to 1854. A selection of firsthand accounts culled from their maritime travelogues recounts the trials and tribulations the explorers encountered as they charted new routes to remote territories. Their unfiltered observations on wide-ranging themes--from geopolitics and commerce to climate change and global cultures--resonate with contemporary issues. This handsome volume--featuring many previously unpublished illustrations, engravings, and maps--traces their extraordinary scientific, diplomatic, or commercial expeditions, which significantly marked the history of world exploration"--Amazon.com. 650 0 $a Discoveries in geography $x French. 650 0 $a Voyages around the world $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Voyages around the world $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Explorers $z France $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Explorers $z France $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Voyages and travels. 650 0 $a Discoveries in geography. 650 0 $a Explorers $z France. 700 1 $a Duyker, Edward, $e writer of foreword. 700 1 $a Brutton, Florence, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240717031122.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=737E33E4440211EF98CC15ED37ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
