Følg med Kristian på sporet af de opdagelsesrejsende, der fandt Amerika, først nåede Sydpolen, besteg verdens højeste bjerg – og ned på bunden af havet!I flere hundrede år er opdagelsesrejsende draget mod verdens fjerneste afkroge uden at vide, hvad der ventede dem. Med mod og nysgerrighed kortlagde de den verden, vi kender i dag, og sikrede sig dermed en plads i historiebøgerne. Men hvem var de egentlig – de eventyrlystne opdagelsesrejsende, der satte sig for at finde ud af, om Jorden var rund, sejlede højt mod nord for at undersøge de isfyldte riger, drog ned på havets bund for at undersøge livet på mange kilometers dybde, løb om kap mod Sydpolen og satte liv og lemmer på spil i kampen om at blive de første på toppen af verdens højeste bjerg?I Kristian på sporet af opdagelsesrejsende skal vi høre om alt fra de vikinger, der drog af sted på togt og ved et tilfælde fandt Grønland, om de mange kapløb der har været om at nå verdens sydligste og nordligste punkter, verdens top og havets bund – og helt frem til i dag, hvor de opdagelsesrejsende med lige så stort mod sætter kursen ud i galaksen for at besøge andre planeter.Kristian på sporet af opdagelsesrejsende er femte bind i Kristian Gintbergs faktaserie for børn, hvori Kristian tager ud for at undersøge stort og småt sammen med læserne.

Derfor tager Kristian ud i verden med sit kamera om halsen, sin rygsæk på ryggen og sin nysgerrighed som rejseledsager og opdager alverdens fænomener, steder og mennesker. Hvert opslag dækker et emne, formidlet i et lettilgængeligt sprog og illustreret både faktuelt og utrolig sjovt af Franck Wagnersens humoristiske streg.

"One July day four hundred years ago, Samuel de Champlain stepped out of a small boat at Quebec and began a great adventure.” So begins Christopher Moore's riveting account of the life of the extraordinary, daring "father of New France.” Samuel de Champlain helped found the first permanent French settlement in the New World; he established the village that eventually became the great city of Quebec; he was a skilled cartographer who gave us many of our first accurate maps of North America; he forged alliances with Native nations that laid the foundations for vast trading networks; and as governor, he set New France on the road to becoming a productive, self-sufficient, thriving colony. But Champlain was also a man who suffered his share of defeats and disappointments. That first permanent settlement was abandoned after a disastrous winter claimed the lives of half the colonists. His marriage to a child bride was unhappy and marked by long separations. Eventually Quebec had to be surrendered temporarily to the English in 1629. In this remarkable book, illustrated entirely with paintings, archival maps, and original artifacts, Christopher Moore brings to life this complex man and, through him, creates a portrait of Canada in its earliest days. Champlain is illustrated with archival maps and paintings. Additional artwork has been provided by Francis Back.
