Series Review--"This series' titles will provide attractive overview resources for that ubiquitous explorer report. the set has a unified old manuscript appearance with pages printed with full bleeds. Each of the handsome two-page layouts serves as a chapter with one page devoted to illustrations: maps, photos, or drawings from stock archival sources. A summarizing timeline, and index are included."
