1.Kon Tiki: Across the Pacific by Raft (Wsp Enriched Classic) by: Thor Heyerdahl, F.H. Lyon 1995-02
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.63 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.45
Few, if any, authors can claim the same realism and drive that Heyerdahl accomplishes in Kon-Tiki. It is a story of a journey of unparalleled magnitude and importance. Six men in a balsa log raft against 4,000 miles of the blue unknown. Simply put, a spellbinding chronicle of amazing human acheivement, the like of which will not soon be equaled.

2.The Kon-Tiki Expedition by: Thor Heyerdahl 1969-11
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.01
This is one of those books I'd always wanted to read, but could not getfrom the book shop or the library. My excuse to read it finally came inthe final year of my degree, when I decided to write my thesis on the linkbetween technology and exploration. This book was one I thought might helpme. I finally found a copy on Amazon, and what I got didn't dissapoint me. It starts off, with Heyerdahl in Polynesia before the war, on a beachwhere an old man tells him of the Legend of who the Pacific Islanders camefrom the East. Heyerdahl abandons his study of Naturalism and leads himto pursue anthropology. He then forms a hypothesis that the PacificIslanders are descended from the peoples of South America, and migrated toPolynesia on ... Read More:

3.The Ra Expeditions by: Thor Heyerdahl April 29, 1971
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.01
Thor Heyerdahl's double achievement of the Kon Tiki and Ra expeditions are nothing short of incredible. In the Kon Tiki he set out to prove how the Pacific Islands had been originally populated. He succeeded. For Ra, he constructed a craft of local papyrus reeds and set out to show how ancient Egyptians reached the Americas thousands of years before Columbus. He succeeded again. Whilst a plethora of so-called experts scoffed at the very notion - claiming any such craft would simply disintegrate in anything more than a calm sea, Heyerdahl and his 6 man crew set sail from North Africa. After 2,700 miles they were eventually battered into submission by a great storm and had to abandon their craft. Within a year, however, they were back ... Read More:

4.The Tigris Expedition: In Search of Our Beginnings by: Thor Heyerdahl June 12, 1980
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.01
Like Heyerdahl's other books, this one challenges the Eurocentric view of ocean travel and international trade. It charts the Heyerdahl's journey on a replica reed boat from the birthplace of man (near current day Iraq), across the ocean to Pakistan and back into the Gulf, where the fantastic ship came to a poignant end. It shows how the archeological evidence can link countries who are across oceans, illustrating that international trade is not a recent phenomenon, started by European empire builders, but an active part of the ancient world. Heyerdahl's dramatic way of illustrating his theory, I feel, does prove something that mere words do not. Reading books like this one can make you seriously challenge the way you have been taught ...

7.In the Footsteps of Adam by: Thor Heyerdahl March 02, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.93
The fact that Thor Heyerdahl, Ph.D., has amassed so much evidence and proved that people have been in regular contact across the oceans for so much longer than was previously thought, and continues to write classics to carry on the theme of contact and communication among diverse peoples and regions seems to be more than some of his detractors can endure. In The Footsteps of Adam, the discovery of our roots in each other's lands is connected with the quest for liberty in nature's balance. The more people who are capable of being inspired by this message the more likely it is that the earth will remain a natural habitat for the human race: I vote five stars. The importance of clearly coordinating many different themes, and the obstacles involved, ... Read More:
