Following on from All About History, History of War and History of Royals, Explore History continues Imagine Publishing’s mission to revolutionise the history sector, says the company.
Explore History aims to combine the eye-watering photography and practical advice of a consumer travel magazine with the storytelling, insight and authority of its existing history range.
Explore History issue 1 takes readers on a tour of the world’s most famous heritage sites, from the spectacle of Machu Picchu and the Great Wall of China, to the imperial grandeur of Prague, revealing insider tips from tour guides and the “amazing life-altering stories that lurk behind every stone”.
Also in the debut issue of Explore History, say the publishers, the magazine reveals the 25 World Heritage Wonders that should make up every must-see list, goes behind the walls of the Smithsonian National Museum of American History to discover the curator’s top picks, and follows in the footsteps of Queen Elizabeth I, from the castles where she held court to the dungeon where the Tudor princess once faced death.
“Explore History reflects not just the huge interest in history, but the way in which people are engaging with it,” explained Editor in Chief James Hoare. “While conventional travel guides and travel magazines relegate the past to a few sentences of throwaway trivia, Explore History puts heritage at the heart of the magazine. Behind every battered oak door or every ivy-clad wall are a hundred amazing stories and we’re excited to be telling them.”
Explore History is priced at £4.99 and is on sale now.
