Greeted with coast-to-coast acclaim on publication,
Fernandez-Armesto's ambitious history of world exploration sets a
new standard. Presenting the subject for the first time on a truly
global scale, Fernandez-Armesto tracks the pathfinders who, over
the past five millennia, lay down the routes of contact that have
drawn together the farthest reaches of the world. The Wall Street
Journal calls it "impressive...a huge story [told] with gusto and
panache." To the Washington Post, "Pathfinders is propelled by an
Argonaut of an author, indefatigable and daring. It's a wild ride."
And in a front-page review, the Seattle Times hails its "tart and
elegant presentation...full of surprises. Fernandez-Armesto's
lively mind, pithy phrasing, and stunningly thorough and diverse
knowledge are a constant pleasure." A plenitude of illustrations
and maps in color and black and white augment this rich history. In
Pathfinders, winner of the 2007 World History Association Book
Prize, we have a definitive treatment of a grand subject.
