David Crane has given us a magisterial portrait of one of Britain`s greatest heroes & explorers, acclaimed as the `masterpiece` on the subject. Reissued for the 100th anniversary of Scott`s doomed expedition. ` It seems a pity, but I do not think I can write more... For God`s sake look after our people.` These were the final words written in Scott`s diary on 29 March 1912, as he lay dying of exhaustion, starvation & extreme cold, in his tent on his return journey from the South Pole. Since then he has been the subject of many books. Yet in all the pages that have been written about him, the personality behind the legend has been forgotten or distorted beyond all recognition. David Crane`s magisterial biography redresses this completely. By reassessing Scott`s life & his substantial scientific achievements, Crane is able to provide a fresh & exciting perspective on both the Discovery expedition of 1901-4 & the Terra Nova expedition of 1910-12. The courage & tragedy of Scott`s last journey are only one part of the process, for the scientific enquiry that led up to it transformed the whole nature & ambition of Antarctic exploration. Written with the full support of Scott`s surviving relatives, & with access to the voluminous diaries & records of key participants, this definitive biography sets out to reconcile the very private struggles of the man with the very public life of extremes that he led. ...
