The Age of Discovery explores one of the most dramatic features of the late medieval and early modern period: when voyagers from Western Europe led by Spain and Portugal set out across the world and established links with Africa, Asia and the Americas. This book examines the main motivations behind the voyages and discusses the developments in navigation expertise and technology that made them possible. This second edition brings the scholarship up to date and includes two new chapters on the important topics of the idea of "discovery" and on biological and environmental factors which favoured or limited European expansion.

Notable excerpts:
-"by 1400 Arab and Indian merchants carried the bulk of their spices by ship to the ports of the Red Sea. From there they were carried overland into Alexandria and other cities in Egypt and Syria where Venetian and Genovese merchants bought them for distribution and sale in Europe."
-"The wealth derived from the spice trade was one of the economic bases for the rise of the Italian city states , Genova and Venice in particular."
-Bernal Diaz, foot soldier and chronicler of the Spanish conquest of Mexico; their aims were "to serve God and His Majesty, to give light to those in darkness, and also to get rich."
