Praise for Shackleton’s Dream:
“ Stephen Haddelsey.... has given us a stimulating, solidly-researched perspective on a fascinating piece of Antarctic history. Shackleton’s Dream fills a significant gap in the record of polar exploration and should be included in every geographer’s library”
POLAR RECORD
“Extraordinary. A story that proves that courage, determination, danger and disaster remain as much a part of Antarctic exploration in the Modern Age as in the Heroic Era”
SIR RANULPH FIENNES
“Thoroughly researched and engagingly written…. this book further establishes Stephen Haddelsey as a key historian of Antarctic exploration”
BEAU RIFFENBURGH, AUTHOR OF NIMROD, RACING WITH DEATH ETC.
“The story of the most daring British polar expedition since Shackleton’s and an important link between the heroic and modern eras of Antarctic exploration”
NICHOLAS OWENS, DIRECTOR OF THE BRITISH ANTARCTIC SURVEY
“The first crossing of the Antarctic continent remains a benchmark in the exploration of our planet. Haddelsey’s book provides an important insight into the achievements of Fuchs, Hillary and their companions”
JULIAN DOWDESWELL, DIRECTOR OF THE SCOTT POLAR RESEARCH INSTITUTE
“A superbly readable and well researched book on the trials and tribulations of the first successful crossing of Antarctica”
KEN BLAIKLOCK, SURVEYOR & DOG DRIVER ON THE COMMONWEALTH TRANS-ANTARCTIC EXPEDTION
“A thoroughly researched, well-referenced look at ‘the last great journey on earth’…. So lovingly crafted as to deserve its place on the heaving Antarctic bookshelf…. This is a gem, which should not have remained unpublished until today”
WANDERLUST MAGAZINE
“Haddelsey’s Shackleton’s Dream is a timely and compelling study of the TAE…. this fine book will surely remain a definitive work. Without question Bunny Fuchs’s astonishing expedition deserves such a book as this”
JOURNAL OF THE JAMES CAIRD SOCIETY
Praise for Ice Captain:
“The Antarctic community owes Stephen Haddelsey a debt of gratitude for bringing Stenhouse back to life, and doing it in such a thoroughly enjoyable manner”
POLAR RECORD
“Readers pulled by Antarctica's magnetism will likewise be pulled in by Haddelsey's deft portrayal”
INTERNATIONAL POLAR YEAR
“A colourful, temperamental character who fell little short of greatness”
THE TIMES
“Tracking down interesting people from the Heroic Age of Polar Exploration who haven't yet merited a full biography is a major challenge these days. The enduring interest in the age of men like Amundsen, Scott and Shackleton inevitably means that, a century later, few stones are left unturned. But Stephen Haddelsey has managed the feat with some style in the first-ever biography of the sailor Joseph Russell Stenhouse”
GEOGRAPHICAL MAGAZINE
Praise for Born Adventurer
“Some larger than life characters enter legend; others enter literature - the model for at least three fictional explorers, Frank Bickerton stuffed his life with event…. What’s here represents enough for several ordinary lives”
GEOGRAPHICAL MAGAZINE
“Insightful and skilled”
THE OXFORD TIMES
“The author has done a fine job of piecing together Bickerton’s story and providing an insight into this engaging character”
