Rating:  Summary: Clearly biased... Review: I give two stars to this book decause of its good coverage of early norse/celtic/british exploration of the Northern Atlantic. However the deliberate omission of important contributions by other people namely the Basque and the Portuguese in medieval times is difficult to understand. It's enough to look at a map to find a lot of non-norse/non-english/non-native names (as a small example the words "Labrador","Boa Ventura","Canada","Porto Novo" are Portuguese!). If the title of this book was: "Early Norse and British exploration of the North Atlantic" I would give 5 stars.
