About This Item
London: W H Allen, 1989. D/J is good. The book is in good used condition. Did the age of discovery begin with Columbus? In his lively and original book Edward Burman argues passionately that this is a misconception and draws on contemporary accounts to describe how medieval travelers ventured beyond the boundaries of their world well before Columbus's age of discovery, he argues, would be more accurately termed an age of rediscovery and exploitation. You will receive the book seen in the image.. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. First Edition. Cloth. Good/Good.
