his book is strangely flawed. First, the good points:
interesting writing, excellent organization, and plenty of relevant
graphics. The bad: No footnotes or documentation, making it useless as a
historical source. The graphics are also curious: most are simplified
reproductions of period pieces, again without sources or references to the
originals. Why did they have a modern artist draw a picture of a woodcut of
ships loading merchandise in 1547? If we want to see the original, where can
we find it? No clues here, and no recommendation for this book.
