"As Europe emerged from the psychological restrictions of the Middle Ages, the new learning of the Renaissance emboldened a handful of adventurers to seek new horizons across the "Ocean Sea." And so began the Age of Discovery. A story of intense passion, rivalry, and excitement, it is still seen as one of the greatest periods of global discovery." "In this coverage of the subject, re-discover Christopher Columbus, Vasco da Gama's search for a sea route to the Indies, John Cabot's explorations of North America, and Ferdinand Magellan's circumnavigation of the globe." "Historical Atlas of Exploration contains a selection of contemporary illustrations and 70 detailed full-color maps that follow each explorer on his travels."--BOOK JACKET.
