Series Review: Explorers Discovering the World
Each volume from the Explorers Discovering the World series looks at the exploration of a large region through two- or four-page chapters focused on individual men or areas explored. A spread typically features a few clearly written paragraphs of text, a sidebar, a factoid box, and two or three colorful, captioned pictures, such as portrait paintings, clearly reproduced photos, and illustrations from different periods.
