Synopsis
Broome (historian, geographer) presents an alternate theory of the naming of America. He pieces together recently discovered material to argue that America was not named after Amerigo Vespucci, but instead for Richard Amerike, a King's Customs Officer in Bristol, England, in the late 1400s. Broome's account conveys the spirit of the Renaissance and world exploration of the time. The book is academic, but accessible to the general reader. Annotation c.

Review
Broome has done an excellent job of putting all the pieces together. This book could end up re-writing history. -- Alan Caruba, Editor, www.Bookviews.Com
Given Cod's success and the popularity of works like 'Longitude' I suspect that Terra Incognita will meet with like reception. -- James Taylor, PublishingOnline.com 3/15/2001
