Prince Henry was a significant explorer and adventurer in a period of enlightenment and expansion of European trade and knowledge of the world beyond its borders. He is considered a prime instigator of what has become known as The Age of Discovery and was responsible for the early development of Portuguese exploration and maritime trade with other continents through the systematic exploration of Western Africa, the islands of the Atlantic Ocean, and the search for new routes.

A vast and scholarly review of world exploration. It reads like a PhD thesis, which is great if youre an intelligent researcher because it just saved you 6 years of DIY, and it has none of the typical BBC / Discovery channel propaganda. If youre a drooling netflix watcher though, you wont be able to stomach it.
