Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

This is a hardback book. The book is in Very Good- condition and is lacking a dust jacket. The spine ends, corners and edges of the book covers have some noticeable bumping, rubbing and wear. The cloth covers have spots of discoloration and patches of fading / toning, especially the spine and rear spine joint area. The front cover and spine of the book cover are decorated with gilt, red and blue illustrations and lettering. The front cover has spots where the decoration has worn away. The text pages are generally clean, though there is some lightish, generalized toning throughout. There is a previous owner's inked name and address on the front free page. Both front and rear inside cover hinges have cracked and been repaired by a former owner. "Frederick Albert Cook (June 10, 1865 — August 5, 1940) was an American explorer, medical doctor and ethnographer, who is most known for allegedly being the first to reach the North Pole on April 21, 1908. A competing claim was made a year later by Robert Peary, though both men's accounts have since been fiercely disputed; in December 1909, after reviewing Cook's limited records, a commission of the University of Copenhagen ruled his claim unproven. Nonetheless, in 1911, Cook published a memoir of the expedition in which he maintained the veracity of his assertions. In addition, he also claimed to have been the first person to reach the summit of Denali (also known as Mount McKinley) , the highest mountain in North America, a claim which has since been similarly discredited. Though he may not have achieved either Denali or the North Pole, his was the first and only expedition where a United States national discovered an Arctic island in North America, Meighen Island."
