Robinson Cited in Wall Street Journal

Michael Robinson, associate professor of history at Hillyer College, was cited by Wall Street Journal reporter Jennie Smith in her article about Ed Stafford's new book about exploring the Amazon.

"As the historian of exploration Michael Robinson has noted in books and on his blog . . . there are few if any truly unexplored places left in the world, and national pride and economic gain are no longer fashionable motives for exploring," Smith writes. "Celebrated most nowadays are firsts of identity and method: the youngest pilot to fly solo around the world; the first woman to circumnavigate Australia in a kayak."
