Why didn't the Chinese discover America? Why were people so slow to learn the earth goes around the sun? How and why did we begin to think of "species" of plants and animals? How, when, and why did people begin digging in the earth to learn about the past? How did the study of economics begin? These are but a few of the fascinating questions answered by Dr. Boorstin, Librarian of Congress Emeritus.

Historia
In this sweeping, enthralling biography, acclaimed historian David Hackett Fischer brings to life the remarkable Samuel de Champlain - soldier, spy, master mariner, explorer, cartographer, artist, and Father of New France. We remember Champlain mainly as a great explorer. On foot and by ship and canoe, he traveled through what are now six Canadian provinces and five American states. Over more than 30 years he founded, colonized, and administered French settlements in North America.

Since the Victorian period, it has been understood that the story of Noah, iconic in the Book of Genesis, and a central motif in Judaism, Christianity and Islam, derives from a much older story that existed centuries before in ancient Babylon. But the relationship between the Babylonian and biblical traditions was shrouded in mystery. Then, in 2009, Irving Finkel, a curator at the British Museum and a world authority on ancient Mesopotamia, found himself playing detective.

Founded by Alexander the Great and built by self-styled Greek pharaohs, the city of Alexandria at its height dwarfed both Athens and Rome. It was the marvel of its age, legendary for its vast palaces, safe harbors, and magnificent lighthouse. But it was most famous for the astonishing intellectual efflorescence it fostered and the library it produced. If the European Renaissance was the "rebirth" of Western culture, then Alexandria, Egypt, was its birthplace.

Historia
The fate of the Lost Ark of the Covenant is one of the great historical mysteries of all time. The Bible contains hundreds of references to the Ark's power, but the Ark itself mysteriously disappears from recorded history sometime after the building of the Temple of Solomon. After 10 years of searching through the dusty archives of Europe and the Middle East, Graham Hancock has succeeded where scores of others have failed. This intrepid journalist has tracked down the true story behind the myths and legends - revealing where the Ark is today, how it got there, and why it remains hidden.

Erich von Däniken again shows his flair for revealing truths that his contemporaries have missed. After closely analyzing hundreds of ancient and apparently unrelated texts, he is now ready to proclaim that human history is nothing like the world religions claim---and he has the proof! In History Is Wrong, von Däniken takes a closer look at the fascinating Voynich manuscript, which has defied all attempts at decription since its discovery, and makes some intriguing revelations about the equally incredible book of Enoch.

Legendary UFO expert Erich von Daniken stirs up another controversy with an imaginative supposition: What if the myths of ancient Greece were attempts to describe events that really happened? What if ancient peoples were visited, not by imaginary gods and goddesses, but by extraterrestrial beings who arrived on earth thousands of years ago? The author's research into both ancient mythology and current archaeological discoveries leads him to some explosive hypotheses.

Original texts were captured and passed down from generation to generation by elders and leaders, many inked by hand in extreme conditions. Christians and Jews canonized the Christian, Catholic, and Hebrew Bibles over a period of thousands of years.

Meriwether Lewis discovered far more than the history books tell - ancient civilizations, strange monuments, "nearly white, blue-eyed" Indians, and evidence that the American continent was visited long before the first European settlers arrived. And he was murdered to keep it all secret. Examining the shadows and cracks between America's official version of history, Xaviant Haze and Paul Schrag propose that the America of old taught in schools is not the America that was discovered by Lewis and Clark and other early explorers.

Here is the remarkable story of how medieval Arab scholars made dazzling advances in science and philosophy, and of the itinerant Europeans who brought this knowledge back to the West. For centuries following the fall of Rome, Western Europe was a benighted backwater, a world of subsistence farming, minimal literacy, and violent conflict. Meanwhile, Arab culture was thriving, dazzling those Europeans fortunate enough to catch even a glimpse.

I enjoyed it
a good listen. Although is WAS helpful to go online to view/download the various maps that are referenced to throughout the story. Actually it is absolutely required to understand what is being said. But it is easy enough to do.

MAPS
This is a story about maps. The story’s potential for revelation falls flat in answering whether Columbus or Amerigo Vespucci were first to discover America. Toby Lester suggests neither Italian was first because North America was discovered long before 1492—maybe by Vikings (AD 1000) or maybe Chinese (AD 1421). But Lester’s book is about maps and America did not get named America until 1507.
The role of religion; the truth and fiction of early explorers like the Mongol Khans, Prester John, Marco Polo, Petrarch, and Boccaccio are played out in Lester’s narrative. Toward the end, Lester shows how the center of the universe is shifted from the earth to the sun by Copernicus.
What stands out in Lester’s story is the incredible unspoken bravery and ambition of men like Marco Polo, Columbus, and Vespucci. Even if much of what they did is exaggerated, one is awed; i.e. awed in the same way twentieth century human beings were; when Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon.

A wonderful book
What did you love best about The Fourth Part of the World?
It draws together many seemingly disparate things such as cartography, Columbus, ancient astronomy, Marco Polo, sea voyages, Renaissance humanism, etc., and of course the name 'America', into a new and exciting perspective.
What did you like best about this story?
The way it draws in so many divers people and things.
Which character – as performed by Peter Jay Fernandez – was your favorite?
The young humanist Matthias Ringmann. Fernandez is an excellent reader who is engaged in what he is reading; he is among the very best. His pronunciation of foreign names are for the most part OK (he even knows Portugese). However, Waldseemüller (pronounced Wald-zay-müller) sounds like Wald-zi-müller, and the accent is misplaced in the Italian names Piccolomini and Pico della Mirandola (Picco-LO-mini and Mi-RAN-dola, not Piccolo-MI-ni and Miran-DO-la). I point this out as listeners may pick up the mispronunciations. Pierre d'Ailly (Ch.6 of the book) is properly pronounced, but it is not easy to find the correct spelling from the sound, so I mention it here for non-French-speakers. [the book chapters do not correspond to the audiobook chapters: this is a pain]
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Almost cried listening to the discovery of the long-lost map.
Any additional comments?
I had not imagined I could be so thrilled with a book whose main subject is cartography. I would not miss this book for anything.

The minutiae of history
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
History can be presented as an interesting story, and often is. I was hoping for that.
Would you ever listen to anything by Toby Lester again?
Absolutely yes. An outstanding reader.
What about Peter Jay Fernandez’s performance did you like?
His performance made it possible to listen to most of this book. With a poor reader I wouldn't have lasted ten minutes.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Boredom. Too much detail. Far too much repetition.
