Spectacular collection of historical prophets. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and was mystified by every page.

Whether you're a fan of Eleanor Roosevelt's or not, this fascinating book tells you much aboutthe history of the times as well as the life of this remarkable First Lady who was probably the most important American Woman of the 20th Century. "The Wisdom Of Eleanor Roosevelt" has much to recommend it: it's a moving portrait presented in a completely non-judgemental way, and it is also an major work of research. Easily readable, it offers new insights into Eleanor Roosevelt the person and the political figure.
I would welcome a companion piece on Franklin Delano Roosevlet, and hopeone will soon be available.

I got suckered by this book. The typos are abominable; the text trite. Sure the maps are good, but most are the same classics you see in any history of maps book.

This book is absolutely fascinating! The author has done a wonderful job in speaking of these ancient maps. Although I was not too interested in the subject, I quickly found myself devouring the book! It is a perfect gift for all, both for its iconography and the insight it gives on this remarkable page of our history...
