In Columbus's Time

We think of the period when Christopher Columbus traveled to the New World as a golden age exploration and discovery: bold journeys across uncharted seas; archaeological forays back in time to revive the lost learning of ancient Rome and Greece; and that explosion of artistic creativity never since equaled, the Renaissance. It was the dazzling moment when Western civilization as we know it today was born. Here, in this short-form book by award-winning journalist Timothy Foote, is the story of those times, told through the unique perspective of Columbus's life.
