Regarding the Hurley CD ROM, Caroline Alexander, James Caird Society member and author of Endurance : Shackleton's Legendary Expedition (quoted on the Antarctic-Circle website), writes : "... many congratulations. It is both formidable scholarship and physically beautiful. I make an impassioned plea on behalf of all us non-electronic fogies who still live in the Heroic Age of technology, please, please get it also published on paper! Congratulations on such a successful conclusion to all your hard work."
