Value Buy Scott's Last Expedition. For You [45LNq2FZ]

It “is sufficient to state that Scott’s eloquent prose propelled him into the realm of greatness despite his flaws. What Scott wrote at the end of his life was an inspiration in meeting death with supreme dignity, and his words entreat reading again and again” (Rosove).

Arranged by Leon Huxley and with a preface by Clements Markham, this work is an account of Scott’s fatal Antarctic expedition on the *Terra Nova.*The first volume comprises Scott’s journal and reprints the farewell letters found by his side. The second contains Wilson’s account as well as the results of the scientific work completed by the surviving members of the crew. Huxley’s accompanying notes are both sober and informative.
