Matthew Lockwood with Explorers Thursday, February 6 at 5:30pm at The NewSouth Bookstore!
February 6, 2025 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Matthew Lockwood is our special guest on Thursday, February 6 at 5:30pm with his new book, Explorers. Brilliant in its brevity, Explorers maps the impulse to seek out new worlds which is universal to humanity, focusing on familiar icons of Western exploration such as Columbus and Captain Cook but also including female voyagers of the Viking period and other lesser known figures, such as Ghulam Rassul Galwan, a guide for European travelers in the Himalayas. Wonderfully insightful and entertaining, Explorers gives a new perspective on the history of exploration, taking readers on a journey that is an homage to the adventures of our ancestors — and our own.
