Condizione: New. 2007 reprint by Rediscovery Books (original 1883). SB.xvi+ 384pp with 15 illustrations ,& 2 maps ( n colour). This book essentially consists of the letters to her sister Henrietta, from Isabella L. Bird during her travels in the Malay Peninsula in the early 1880s. Despite the ill health of her youth; something that sporadically arose primarily when she was not travelling, Bird became the most famed of nineteenth century female travel writers and this culminated a decade later in her becoming the first woman to be inducted into the Royal Geographical Society.Here she provides us with a charming personal narrative of her travels and adventures in what was then a region scarcely visited by European travellers, let alone a single lady. Being the bearer of official letters of accreditation, she was welcomed by officials throughout the territory and these enabled her to gain a fascinating insight into the people, language and culture of these islands. Coming from Japan she describes her visits to, amongst other places, Hong Kong, Canton, Singapore, Malacca and Perak very much in her characteristic 'through her own eyes' style. An extensive account that must be read by anyone interested in this period and these places. Book.…

Condizione: New. 2006 reprint by Rediscovery Books SB, 1 colour platePublished Price £11.50 This detailed account of the preparations and departure of the epic flight by two members of the expedition support team, Henri Lachambre and Alexis Machuron, captures perfectly the scale, planning and atmosphere of this great adventure.Including a wide variety of photographs, the book is a personal account of the construction of the balloon by Lachambre; it's transportation to Spitzbergen and incarceration in a specially built shed. The trials and tribulations of the initial curtailed expedition in 1896 are followed by those of the more successful second trip which culminated in the eventual departure of the explorers. The technical detail of the balloon is combined with accounts of the teams' day-to-day life at sea and ashore in the arctic whilst awaiting the right weather. Diversions included hunting trips and the setting-off of avalanches for the amusement of the crew.And finally, following the interception of a carrier pigeon some days after launch, comes the last message.
