Title: When the World was a Much BIgger Place
Product review: With all the adrenaline packed adventure stories out there, its refreshing to read one that combines, history, science (crude science!), and politics with a great adventure story. SO while Magellan's epic voyage around the world and the dangers he encounters and brings upon himself will keep you on the edge of your seat, you'll also learn plenty about history, the tone of the times, and what those who lived during the 1500's knew of the world they lived in.THe author is a fantastic biographer, writer, and historian. THis ensures an accurate, fair and non-hero worshipping portrait of Magellan and those who accompanied him on his historic voyage, one which had epic repurcussions on the commerce and politics of the times. I put this book near the top of all of the 100's of adventure/travel/history books that I have read. Its also worth noting that the author was kind enough to respond to my e-mail praising his book.
