Shackleton Books is a publishing project that was born with the same exploratory spirit that characterized the charismatic captain of the Endurance in his heroic attempts to conquer the cold and remote Antarctica. We share with him the same enthusiasm for expanding the horizons of knowledge and exploring new territories, in an adventure that we know is not without risks. With our works, we want to accompany readers in the exploration of the fascinating regions of knowledge and culture, putting at their disposal the best guides in each case: renowned scientists and researchers, essayists of recognized prestige and the best popularizers, gathered in a careful catalog of authors.
