    Description


    Praise for Charles C. Mann

    1493: Uncovering the New World Columbus Created

    'Almost mind-boggling in its scope, enthusiasm and erudition . . . Almost every page of Mann's book contains some extraordinarily provocative argument or arrestingly bizarre detail . . . A tremendously provocative, learned and surprising read' Dominic Sandbrook in the Sunday Times

    'Soars with majestic ambition across continents, themes and the five intervening centuries' Independent

    'Mann's excitement never flags as he tells his breathtaking story' Financial Times

    1491: New Revelations of the Americas before Columbus

    'A devastatingly fascinating read - iconoclastic yet not sensational' Scotland on Sunday

    'A brilliantly insightful and unsettling book' Paul Muldoon, Times Literary Supplement

    'Marvelous . . . A sweeping portrait of human life in the Americas before the arrival of Columbus' New York Times

    'Fascinating . . . A landmark of a book that drops ingrained images of colonial America into the dustbin, one after the other' Boston Globe
