From Library Journal:
This survey atlas, emphasizing exploration from the late 1400s to the late 1800s, is firmly directed toward a general audience. It features excellent color maps and illustrations with two-page spreads, each devoted to the analysis of a particular explorer and each with extracts from the explorer's journals (translated into English if necessary). The atlas takes Columbus and his predecessors as a starting point and covers all of North America, unlike more specialized works such as Coolie Verner and Basil Stuart-Stubbs's Northpart of America (1979) and the Atlas of Columbus and the Great Discoveries (Rand McNally, 1990). The writers have endeavored to maintain an objective tone and provide full citations for works mentioned in the text.
