Another informative “Captivating Guide” on the “Age of Discovery.” The book covers the major Portuguese, Spanish, English, and French explorers of the 1400, 1500, and 1600s as they embarked on discovery and plundering of natural resources for trade and wealth. This is a book worthwhile for anyone wanting to learn about the influence of European culture in the New World of the Americas and Far East.
