The routes in this edition have all been rewalked and updated by walking enthusiast Tom Holman. Stunning new photographs by Andrew Midgley and Tom Holman illustrate the book.

Disrobing the Aboriginal Industry
By examining the root causes of aboriginal problems, Frances Widdowson and Albert Howard expose the industry that has grown up around land claim settlements, showing that aboriginal policy development over the past thirty years has been manipulated by non-aboriginal lawyers and consultants. They analyse all the major aboriginal policies, examine issues that have received little critical attention - child care, health care, education, traditional knowledge - and propose the comprehensive government provision of health, education, and housing rather than deficient delivery through Native self-government.
Pre-Columbian Jamaica
Pre-Columbian Jamaica represents the first substantial attempt to summarize the prehistoric evidence from the island in a single published account since J. E. Duerden's invaluable 1897 article on the subject, which is also reprinted within this volume.
The Arctic Fox
The Shackleton of his day, Leopold McClintock from Dundalk was the leadig Antarctic explorer of the Victorian era. First to bring definite information on the lost Franklin party he rose to admiral and advised Scott before the Discovery expedition in 1901. This tale starts when he enlisted in 1831, not yet twelve years old. He began exploration in 1848 on the Enterprise expedition with Ross, the first in search of Franklin. After two further expeditions, he was the most experienced explorer in the Royal Navy, having sledged over 1,300 miles, over-wintered and discovered Prince Patrick Island. At the request of Lady Franklin he commanded the Fox in 1857 to again search for Franklin. By 1859 he had found written records and human remains after Eskimos told him of a shipwreck and survivors. He returned with the news that the entire crew of the Franklin expedition had perished, was greeted with acclaim and awarded honours. His account of the expedition became a best-seller. After his death a plaque remembering him was unveiled at Westminster Abbey, portraits hung in London's National Portrait Gallery and the McClintock Channel in the Arctic was named after him.
The Social Life of Stories
In this illuminating and theoretically sophisticated study of indigenous oral narratives, Julie Cruikshank moves beyond the text to explore the social power and significance of storytelling. Circumpolar Native peoples today experience strikingly different and often competing systems of narrative and knowledge. These systems include more traditional oral stories; the authoritative, literate voice of the modern state; and the narrative forms used by academic disciplines to represent them to outsiders.
