New Worlds: The Great Voyages of Discovery, 1400-1600
"Fritze's contribution to the historiography of Old World exploratory efforts is to synthesize much of the historiography of the last decade. In this, Fritze has been highly successful. The result is a narrative of the peoples and cultures previously unknown to the Europeans that is not only informative and insightful, but also engaging and lucid, and will therefore, appeal to both layperson and scholar....[a] thoroughly enjoyable and informative overview of the latest scholarship on the nature of European exploration during the era of discovery. Both students and academics will find a great deal to commend in this volume. It is beautifully illustrated and generously provided with nicely designed maps. This would make for a useful introductory study for any first-year university history course."-Sixteenth Century Journal
