From the Silk Road of Asia to the icy shores of Antarctica, our knowledge of the world today is in large part due to several intrepid pioneers, risking life and limb for the sake of exploration. After all, setting off into the dark unknown requires an enormous amount of bravery. But every explorer quickly learns that courage and curiosity aren't enough to save you if you can't read a map or trespass on somebody else's land! In this fourth installment of the Epic Fails series, authors Erik Slader and Ben Thompson introduces readers to an international cast of trailblazers and details every mutiny, wrong turn, and undiscovered city of gold behind the age of exploration."--Book jacket. 650 0 $a Explorers $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Discoveries in geography $v Juvenile literature. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Instructional and educational works. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Thompson, Ben $d 1980- $e author. 700 1 $a Foley, Tim $d 1962- $e illustrator. 800 1 $a Slader, Erik. $t Epic fails. 941 $a 15 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240716034701.0 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611013656.0 952 $l MIPA194 $d 20240416010359.0 952 $l CPPC926 $d 20231111013835.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012011226.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201022125.0 952 $l VIPA334 $d 20220305010919.0 952 $l KLPC566 $d 20220108010557.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20220104013842.0 952 $l SBPB074 $d 20200306010703.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110080710.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20191217010655.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20191120042805.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20191005013129.0 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20190611010246.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=507BC6EC8C0E11E9A8F66B4B97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
