Mutige Frauen erkunden die Welt: Ob gefürchtete Wikingerin, abenteuerlustige Entdeckerin oder renommierte Wissenschaftlerin – von Anfang an haben Frauen an der Erforschung der Welt maßgeblich mitgewirkt, auch wenn sie in den frühen Aufzeichnungen kaum Erwähnung fanden und sie bei ihren Reisen viele Hindernisse zu überwinden hatten. Lorie Karnath, Präsidentin des Explorer Club, zeichnet ein spannendes Bild der wichtigsten Abenteurerinnen und Forscherinnen von der Pionierzeit bis heute und stellt sie in den Kontext der Gründung und Entwicklung des Clubs. Damit liefert sie nicht nur eine wunderbare Hommage an die kühnsten Frauen der Welt, sondern auch ein spannendes Stück Gesellschaftsgeschichte.

The amiably spontaneous pictures taken by Sam Shaw (1912–1999) are well the native and life-long New Yorker shot countless cover photographs for Life and Look in the fifties and sixties, and later also took the still images for the films he produced himself. Shaw and Marilyn Monroe were friends, and he captured her unique aura in countless unpretentious portraits. During the filming of The Seven Year Itch, he staged his probably best known picture with Marilyn standing over a subway grate, a waft of air blowing the skirt of her white dress above her knees. Sam Shaw also portrayed almost every major Hollywood star of his day, consistently capturing the moment in his quest for truthfulness, with enthusiasm and from a new perspective, just as if he were selecting the camera angle for a film sequence. The researcher and author Lorie Karnath, the book’s editor, enhances the publication with very personal memories of her long-time friend.
