Description:
Recommended by Nancy Koehn, James E. Robison Professor of Business Administration
“It’s an extraordinary work from the world’s leading expert on Antarctic explorers from the golden age of exploration,” Koehn said of this biography. “It’s about [Ernest] Shackleton the man and how in an extraordinary crisis he rose to find his strength, his sense of service, his ingenuity, his courage, his resilience.”
Shackleton saved the lives of 27 men and himself when his ship was stranded off the coast of Antarctica in 1915.
“It’s about how ordinary people make themselves capable of doing extraordinary things,” Koehn said.
