Covers the European exploration of the New World, from 1415 to 1620. An interesting and useful treatment of a well-covered aspect of history. Few make science and history as accessible as the Time-Life folks.
i have read many in this series but this has been my favourite. explained why the exploration happened and why portugal was the first.

- First words
- The Renaissance voyages of discovery rank as one of history's two or three most important phenomena in terms of their effect on the modern world.
- Last words
- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)The explorers of the Renaissance, often poor, often undervalued in their own time, are commemorated in every modern atlas; they have an enduring monument in that most useful roll of honor, the geographical gazetteer, in whose pages are listed the thousands of places - many still bearing their discoverers' names - that first became known to Europe through the Renaissance journeys into the unknown.
