It is not a dull comprehensive catalogue of every round-the-world voyage. Rather it is a book whose breath-taking sweep of narrative takes in a great deal of detail. It unfolds the story chronologically from the moment on 27 April 1521, when Ferdinand Magellan was speared to death on Mactan and Juan de Elcano took up the challenge of bringing his surviving companions home. It continues that story through four and a half centuries crammed with astonishing exploits by men and women of many nations. It features interviews with contemporary adventurers who have set themselves the task to 'put a girdle round the earth'. The book's fast-flowing text is well illustrated with pictures, charts and diagrams which enhance its value as an informative and entertaining volume for adventurers of both the real-life and armchair varieties."
