| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In 1904, a group of men active in exploration formed an organization to promote exploration. In 1912, the club honorarily inducted several members who had made worldwide names for themselves, specifically in Arctic exploration. This book looks at the impact of these first inductees and their namesakes in geography and legacies in honorary naming. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
