The Fourth Part of the World

The Fourth Part of the World

by Toby Lester

In 1901, Josef Fischer accidentally discovered the Waldseemuller Map of 1507 - the first map to depict the world largely as we know it. This book tells the story of the voyagers and thinkers who created this remarkable map and ushered in the New World.
