B O R I N G
It's pretty bad guys and gals... very authoritative research, but extremely dry presentation. This book will work better than Sominex....

Solid coverage of Christian missionary expeditions
While the book can be a bit dry at times, there are excellent sections on Catholic and Protestant missionary societies, and interesting comparisons between the two. Anyone who has an interest in missionaries or Christian expansion should find this book interesting.

Interesting read for Age of Discovery buffs
Very nice compilation of famous travellers: why they went, what they accomplished. Illustrates the trickle down effect of leading individuals in history. I read it once, getting ready to read it again. Have already bought it for friends with similar tastes. Not beach reading, for serious amateur historians.
