Summary:
Amerigo Vespucci was a really great propagandist. He did not actually discover America, Columbus did, well really Native Americans did, but he did write about his explorations there. He was also one of the first people to assert that the New World was new, not just another part of Asia. This short biography hits the highlights of his life and explores why exactly it is called America and not something else. Narrated with pictures, maps and short statements by experts.
