The National Geographic Society 100 Years of Adventure and Discovery by C.D.B Bryan

For a century, the National Geographic Society has been bringing to an audience of millions the thrilling world of adventure, discovery, and natural wonders. Robert E. Peary's determined, successful struggle to be first to reach the North Pole; Hiram Bingham's exciting discovery of the mysterious lost city of the Incas, Machu Picchu; the awesome deadly eruption of the Mont Pelee volcano; the devastating San Francisco earthquake, Reinhold Messner's superhuman solo climb to the summit of Mt. Everest--these are but a few of the spectacular events reported at first hand by the Society. (Insert from in side cover jacket of book.)
