  The Age of Reconnaissance, as JH Parry has so aptly named it, was the period during which Europe discovered the rest of the world. This book examines the inducements - political, economic, religious - to overseas enterprises at the time, and analyzes the nature and problems of the various European settlements in the new lands.
