I read Mr. Dugard's wonderful "Into Africa" a few years ago and was mesmerized by that book's recounting of the adventures of Livingstone and Stanley. Over the past decade my reading has been heavily tilted toward books by explorers and about explorers. This book, THE EXPLORERS, does exactly what I had always wished someone would do and that is to catalog the central traits of those who went boldly into the void. Were they courageous or crazy? Herein Mr. Dugard gives us a fast-paced read that contains all the explorational drama one could wish for, but he pauses now and then to discuss what all these men (and women) had in common. He decides that the traits are these: Curiosity, Hope, Passion, Courage, Independence, Self-Discipline and Perseverance. Each of the traits is meticulously illustrated by tales from the trail.And there are stories herein that are new to me. I had never heard of the young man who walked from Capetown to Cairo to win a woman's hand in marriage. That is romantic!Overall this is an inspirational read that will have you journeying through your own psyche as you assess the unique psychological nature of the explorers. Would you be up to the challenge had you lived in those times?W. F. Strong, GOOD BOOKS RADIO
I have read scores of books on explorers of all types, and in particular love Martin Dugard’s "Into Africa," one of the best books on exploration I have ever read. I’ve read it several times and recommend it to everyone. I have bought several more of his books in anticipation. "The Explorers" seeks to analyze common qualities of explorers in an effort to understand what makes a person become an explorer, and what traits defined the famous explorers in history. Its thesis reminded me a lot of Margaret Morrell’s book Shackleton’s Way, which successfully extracts business principles from the story of Shackleton’s Antarctic survival saga. Her book was organized, thoughtful, logical and practical. This book unfortunately is not. It’s not up to the quality that I know Dugard can produce. As a writer and editor, I examined it from a literary point of view. The writing style is rambling, casual, disjointed, which makes for a difficult read. Paragraphs bounce from topic to topic; a term or concept is introduced, then dropped while another topic is introduced; the reader is left wondering how they are all connected. Sometimes Dugard connects the dots, sometimes not. It’s a frustrating read. The book also seems to be a platform to discredit explorer Richard Burton, while extolling Speke. Not a problem, and I found it interesting because Dugard is correct that Burton has many fans… but it comes across as biased and personal. The Burton/Speke controversy colors the entire book, so that rather than exemplify the unique traits of explorers (of which both men had in abundance), it becomes a vendetta to discredit Burton, which is odd. I feel that topic belongs in a different book. It seemed like Dugard wasn’t sure what direction to take with this book, and so it becomes a rambling discourse, branching off at any time into subtopics and more subtopics, until you, exploring this book, become very lost in its jungle. For example, in the chapter on Self-Discipline, Dugard defines self-discipline as being all about action. (well, in part, but not “allâ€) The very next paragraph jumps to talk about self-efficacy. Then a few paragraphs later jumps into self-mastery, the “necessary character modification†needed “to make that dream a reality.†And then, further discussing self-mastery, in the next paragraph, talks about it being behavior modification… I mean, character modification is not the same thing as behavior modification. I was very confused trying to follow what Dugard was saying.Dugard gets into trouble by tossing about definitions of character traits and psychological terms (like “lizard brainâ€) which I don’t think he has researched well, or perhaps is not qualified to speak about. His definitions are half-formed or trite: contradictory at worst and confusing at best. Sometimes he cites studies in psychology to back up his claims, but often not, and just relies on a pop psychology approach. This comes across as a bit lazy and not well-researched. I think perhaps this book might be enjoyed best by those new to the lives of explorers, but for anyone who has read in-depth about Peary, Scott, Shackleton, Burton and Speke, Livingston and more, you may find this a frustrating and disappointing read. If Dugard could focus better, structure the book better, remove the personal vendetta against Burton, be more objective, and organized, this could have been a much better book. I blame a lot on his editor, who should have caught all these rambling statements and lack of bridging between paragraphs and topics. The topic is great, the handling (and editing) of it lackadaisical and lazy. I vote for a future edition, in which the content has been refined and the writing style honed, and the editing sharp and insightful. This book comes across as a free-style first draft which needs to go back to the drawing board. But I’m still a Dugard fan, and "Into Africa" remains one of my all-time favorite books. I went to Zanzibar myself after reading it, and saw Livingstone’s famous medicine chest and Stanley’s handwritten roster for porters; Dugard made it all so alive for me. I so wish this book could have lived up to his potential.
I love books about adventure. I thought this was going to be a book about men and women exploring the unknown world i.e. Africa, South America, South Pacific, Antarctica. It is but it is so much more. It actually is a book that would be great for business students to read or anyone looking to learn how to overcome adversity, how to stay optimistic, set goals, self discipline, being independent, the importance of curiosity, and the art of problem solving. And there are lots of stories regarding the trials and tribulations of many explorers, male and female. Great read.
This book captures the essence of the men being written about. Dugard is a wonderful story teller. I always thought the 'Killing' books he wrote with (for) Bill O'Reilly were enjoyable to read and I gave far too much credit to O'Reilly. I see now that the excellence and quality storytelling came from Dugard.
The story of the two main explorers was fascinating, but the author kept interrupting the thread of the story by going off on tangents to explain motivation, give examples, talk about other explorers during the same period, all in a pedantic tone. His style may appeal to others, but not to me. I nevertheless waded through it to find out what happened to the two main characters, and found that rewarding.
This book showed the tenacity of people who had dreams and were focused. I could never have endured the hardships they did.. It is amazing what one can accomplish when one doesn't feel "entitled." I don't think there are any people around at this time that would be able to push themselves as hard as these did. Gave me a good perspective of the road traveled to get to where we are today.
The book is very inspirational and relatable. Considering what other normal, fallible people have accomplished with "the right stuff" allows you to see past that "tough day" you just had at work & in traffic! Helps put things in perspective, and helps you reach for more with purpose & meaning like you know somehow you can if you try!
Very well written . . . you will not be able to put it down. The psychology of an explorer is discussed which makes the individual personalities so much more interesting.
