Summary
The challenge of opening Africa and Australia to British imperial influence fell to a coterie of proto professional explorers who sought knowledge, adventure, and fame but often experienced confusion, fear, and failure. The Last Blank Spaces follows the arc of these explorations, from idea to practice, intention to outcome, myth to reality
