	John Hemming (explorer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Hemming (born 1935) is a Canadian-born explorer and author.
		Hemming was born in [Vancouver - because his father had been through the trenches in the First War, saw the Second coming, and wanted him born in North America.
		Subsequently, in 1975, John Hemming became Director and Secretary of the Royal Geographical Society, a post he held until 1996.

		Hemming, a courteous, soft-spoken man in his sixties, has nothing against the great 19th century explorers.
		According to Dr Hemming, expeditions come into two categories: _ "There are the A to B journeys, and then there are those that consist of scientific project work in the field.
		Hemming himself has had malaria twice, been lost in the Amazonian jungle, swept downriver in swirling rapids, had log bridges collapse under him, and lost his expedition leader, ambushed and killed by an Indian hunting party.

		Hemming was born in Vancouver but educated in the UK, at Eton College and the University of Oxford.
		When his first book, The Conquest of the Incas, was published in 1970, it was widely believed that it was by a famous historian using a pseudonym, so high was the level of scholarship.
		(Hemming at the time was only a B.A.) Subsequently, in 1975, John Hemming became Secretary of the Royal Geographical Society, and later its Director, a post he held until 1996.

		A writer, explorer, and anthropologist, he is a member of the Royal Geographic Society and has traveled extensively in all continents, crossing the Sahara and Syrian deserts and taking part in a major exploration of a previously unknown part of Brazil.
		Hemmings is clearly sympathetic to the Incas (it is almost impossible not to be), but he gives due credit to the do-or-die bravery of the Spanish, who rarely if ever backed out of a fight, even after the Incas' revised tactics had greatly evened the odds.
		John Hemming's "Conquest of the Incas" is a fascinating and detailed read of how Francisco Pizarro and his brotherhood of sixteenth century conquistadors wantonly crushed Peru's Inca Indian civilization.

		As an explorer he finally laid to rest the concept of the Great Southern Continent.
		Cook's scientific rigour can be seen in his accurate charting of coastlines and plotting of coordinates, opening a new era in European knowledge of the Pacific by decisively superseding the inaccurate and inconsistent information which had for so long impeded efficient exploration of the area.
		Perhaps his most important continuing legacy is a model of contact between different cultures on a basis of humane understanding.

	Lost City of the Last Stance, by Juliet Clough, the Daily Telegraph, London
		High in the league of lost cities, Vilcabamba has seized explorers' imaginations in much the same way as Atlantis or El Dorado.
		Seven of us, including the explorer John Hemming and a Peruvian archaeologist, Adriana von Hagen, have decided to follow the last of the Incas as they retreated deep into the jungled ravines of Vilcabamba.
		A few American explorers mad their way to Espíritu Pampa earlier in the 20th century, but the positive identification of its jungle-suffocated ruins as those of the missing Vilcabamba proved elusive.

		A team of explorers has discovered the ruins of a "lost city" in Peru, hidden in a remote mountain jungle and untouched for more than 500 years.
		British writer and explorer Hugh Thomson said the site, more of a settlement than what we would understand as a city, was in a "remarkable state of preservation".
		"This is an important discovery, because it is a sizeable centre of good-quality late-Inca masonry," said John Hemming, a well-known Inca expert and former director of the Royal Geographical Society.

		Naturalist and author John Muir believed that any commercial development of natural areas was inappropriate.
		Muir’s philosophical approach to the environment was very different from Pinchot’s: Muir valued nature for its own sake and argued forcefully to protect species and preserve wilderness, whereas Pinchot was much more concerned with the use of natural resources to serve human needs.
		Writings by explorer and naturalist John Muir, including his first book, The Mountains of California (1894), reflected his spiritual view of nature and his belief in the need for political protection of environmental resources.
