Book Description: From the sponsorship of early explorers by rival European powers to the creation of a new world empire in the Americas, Historical Atlas of Exploration chronicles what is still seen as the biggest land grab in history. Developed in association with the National Maritime Museum, the book is an exciting, comprehensive guide to the Great Age of Exploration, when humankind's new found ambition and quest for knowledge created an age of adventure and discovery across uncharted territories. Organized chronologically and working within an atlas format, the book covers: biographies of the famous navigators of the day, the voyages they undertook, and the ships they sailed; full color maps that chart the gradual discovery of new lands; and a continuous timeline of dates and events. Among the explorers and topics covered are: Africa in the 15th century and the landings of Gonalo Cabral and Bartolomeo Dias; navigation in the 16th century, Christopher Columbus, the Pinzn Brothers, and Pnfilo de Narvez; Vasco de Gama, Pedro Cabral, and sea routes to the Indies; and John Cabot, Ponce de Len, Giovanni da Verrazzano, and the exploration of North America.
