Exploration.

This audiobook is about exploration and explorers. I give the title 4 stars because there is one section containing irrelevant content. "Four Desert Challenge" describes a grueling race across 4 deserts on various continents. Racing is not exploration, it is competition. I recognize that people who complete the challenge may feel exhiliration similar to an explorer, but competition and exploration are not synonymous.

The other sections are relevant. They focus on topics such as explorers, climbing mountains and crossing an ocean. Bottom line: A great listen for the curious.
