THE FROZEN ECHO: GREENLAND AND THE EXPLORATION OF NORTH AMERICA C.A.D. 1000-1500

0;This is a fascinating book, not only for those engaged in Atlantic studies or early American history. The clear and precise text, the skillful management of complex themes, and above all the sympathetic approach to human endeavors, coupled with a skeptical view of earlier theories and an open mind to new ideas, make it as easy to read as a novel.1;2;The Times Higher Education Supplement 0;Of major importance, this book fills a serious gap in scholarly studies of European expansion. It brings new understandings to the relationships between Norse discoveries and the great voyages of Renaissance discovery in the North Atlantic. Furthermore, it is fascinating reading, written in a lively and very readable style. It should interest the general public and amateur historians as well as scholars.1;2;Dr. Helen Walls, British Map Library, British Museum
