Title
Amerigo Vespucci (First Book),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Product Description Traces the life of the famed Florentine explorer who discovered Brazil, Venezuela, and the Amazon River, and had two continents named for him From School Library Journal Grade 47 A brief biography of the explorer for whom America was named. Although physically attractivewith large print and many color and blackandwhite illustrationsthe book is only average in writing style and contains several strange omissions. For instance, the man's physical appearance is never described; Martin Waldseemueller, the scholar who first inscribed Vespucci's name on a map, is unaccountably absent; and Fradin states, We don't know how it happened that this middleaged merchant decided to cross the ocean,'' despite reasons explicated in other books. Also, the book lacks a map, a horrendous oversight in a study of an explorer. Syme's Amerigo Vespucci (Morrow, 1969; o.p.) is much more interestingly detailed and readable than this treatment. It contains blackandwhite drawings and includes a bibliography and map. The chapter on Vespucci in Lomask's Great Lives: Exploration (Scribners, 1988) is laden with errors and should not be used.
