Shackleton's Way: Leadership Lessons from the Great Antarctic Explorer Margot Morrell, Stephanie Capparell 
Rating: 4.0/5 Stars Rank: 28314 (Paso Robles, CA United States) February 15, 2001 - 5.0/5 stars The excerpt is a virtual duplication of the early life of this intrepid explorer. Beyond that, it is an incredible story of a man who, as did so many before and after him, explored the unknown; such as the Mountain Men of the 1700s and the Astronaughts of the 1960/70s. The realization that a man walked on the moon and returned to earth in the 1970s exemplifies the immense speed with which knowledge, once gained, can accelerate the speed with which more knowledge becomes known. Shackleton's exploit has all the spirit and confidence of the crew of the Apollo VII, but on a much more approachable scale. The rescue of his entire crew that relied upon his success in sailing a small boat across dangerous seas to a distant ilse, then crossing its mountains to get to the whaling station and help, has all the suspense of Apollo VII. It is enough to have readers shouting HURRAHS by the end. Yet, it is no more than another of so many experiences where man has taken it upon himself to open their world to others, even at the expense of their own lives. Fascinating! HIGHLY REDCOMMENDED. (Shackleton and the Antarctic, by Margery and James Fisher, THE RIVERSIDE PRESS, CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS, Houghton Mifflin Company Boston, 1958 (c) 1957).
