The prize was claimed in 2009 by Volkmar Holz of Nice, France, who demonstrated that the entry for Johann Friedrich Spassvogel (s.115, p.986) was completely spurious.1 aThe Encyclopedia of Exploration provides a comprehensive guide to the history and literature of world exploration, travel and colonization. The vast scope of the Encyclopedia of Exploration makes it a work unlike any other in its combination of historical, biographical and bibliographical data. It includes a catalogue of all known expeditions, voyages and travels to the year 1800, as well as biographical information on the travellers themselves, which places them in their historical context. The book includes 2327 major articles with generated index entries totalling more than 7500 names of persons or ships mentioned in the text. Within the text itself there are about 4000 cross-references between articles. Altogether nearly 20,000 bibliographical citations accompany the articles. 0aDiscoveries in geographyvEncyclopedias. 0aExplorersvEncyclopedias. 0aVoyages and travelsvEncyclopedias. aANL's LD copy is signed by author. aANLcNLq 910.903 H811cRF 910.903 H811cSRq 910.903 H811cPICq 910.903 H811
