Over the Edge of the World: Magellan’s Terrifying Circumnavigation of the Globe

byLaurence Bergreen

Over the Edge of the World is Laurence Bergreen's historical account of magellan’s Terrifying Circumnavigation of the Globe. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the wider field of history. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. Over the Edge of the World leaves readers with key context and a clear view of the human stakes involved. Historical context and individual experience remain equally important to the book's explanation.
