Pathfinders: A Global History of Exploration

This was an excellent historical book about the European age of exploration. What motbated the explorers, what was their thought process, thwir environment etc. The author does not deify the explorers nor does he say that the events were inevitable.A very good critical look at the age of exploration. Highly recommended.

A treasure trove of knowledge, human history described in terms of the contact of civilisations and their divergence. Very rich

Wonderful expanded knowledge of the “I thought I knew that story”, to OMG! I never knew or Even Suspected this reality. Quite an adventure from an armchair view.

I love this book. I cannot say this enough. I had to buy it for my history class, but it's a book I read for fun - even chapters I'm not required to read. Well written, a flowing style, and a little touch of snarky attitude from the author makes this book exceedingly entertaining.

One cannot praise enough this book for its clarity and profoundity, when the author unravels the paths pursued by humanity in exploring the world and other cultures.Armesto's fine intuitions and great storitelling make this book a true masterpiece.

PLEASED

Prompt delivery and I love it.
