"This splendid, exciting, beautifully-illustrated account of the Age of Exploration relates events so dramatic that they would have been dismissed as implausible fiction if they hadn't actually happened. Don't think of this as 'just' a book for kids: children's parents will find it equally gripping and informative." -- Jared Diamond, Professor of Geography, UCLA, and author of the best-selling, Pulitzer Prize-winner Guns, Germs, and Steel.
"Aronson's exemplary scholarship is evident everywhere in the text and accompanying matter, including the archival reproductions and thorough documentation that together explain and extend the narrative....Combined with beautiful bookmaking and eloquent storytelling, this book sets a clear standard of excellence in its presentation of a person in his time." --Sibert Award Committee Chair Susan Faust on Witch Hunt: Mysteries of the Salem Witch Trials.
