Exploring the World tells of Christopher Columbus' expedition around the world and his landing in America, of Ferdinand Magellan's journey to establish a trade route from Spain to the Spice Islands, and of Francis Drake's perilous voyage around the Cape of Good Hope. You will read about why the explorers set out, how they traveled, hazards they encountered on the way, and what they brought back with them. Clear maps and superb reconstructions bring these journeys vividly to life.
