1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus

My daughter is reading [b:Before Columbus: The Americas of 1491|6415223|Before Columbus The Americas of 1491|Charles C. Mann|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1348956360l/6415223.SX50.jpg|89240007] as part of her American History studies this year, and while cataloging that book, I came across this one. For the most part I listened to the audiobook, but in the end I discovered when the audiobook ended there was still about 200+ pages of appendices, annotated bibliography, notes, credits and more in the after section.

I found this entire book to be fascinating as I was listening to the audio book. I did start reading with the Kindle book as well, and was even more enamored with the illustrations and pictures embedded within the text. My daughter just finished reading Before Columbus: The Americas of 1491 and it was my start in on that to where I discovered 1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus. I will absolutely be following this up with 1493: Uncovering the New World Columbus Created. One of the things I love best is that Charles C. Mann will be taking you down and avenue of common theory and then u-turn to tell you what the historical facts and science actually shows. While I don't necessarily take to every supposition, there is a lot that has opened my mind further and made me even more curious.

I borrowed this book from #LibbyApp but own the oversize picture book style paperback of Before Columbus.
