Got to love a tiny book that spreads colonizer info 🥰 I am very glad I got this book out of the school it was in. If you want a book/ almost magazine of history which only has 10 resources and not even a page dedicated bibliography this is the book for you. It has some women and specifically softens or leaves out natives/indigenous peoples treatment.

I have just finished this book and I got exactly what I wanted from it. I alway wanted to go explore and learn more about the world. This book helps me learn how we discovered most of it, and all the crazy adventures that explorers went through just to find these parts of the Earth.
