JonesIve read easily 30 books in this subject area where the writers are consistently more accomplished and broadly/deeply knowledgeable on relevant subjects; terrain; and sailing than the armchair critics. Enterlines a mathematician/computer scientist and approaches the subject with far more rigor; skepticism; and fact-checking than a professional historian who generally has little or no training in the sciences and considers only convenient books by peers the source of reliable information. Enterline writes with great lucidity and doesnt pad his paragraphs but fully supports his conclusions with original sources. His books are a pleasure to read; relentlessly logical; and full of surprising and fascinating insights in the actual discovery and exploration of Northern North America.10 of 11 people found the following review helpful. A Necessary and Important Book...By Benjamin B. OlshinMr. Enterline has written an important book; a book that looks at the maps themselves and the evidence therein. This is a refreshing change from the baseless conjectures; theories; and "trendy" interpretations that have sometimes siezed hold of the history of cartography. Enterlines interpretations will open up new debate on these early maps of the arctic regions; but it is this kind of debate that is sorely needed. Most important; however; is that Enterline has shown a true understanding of the context in which early maps were made; and how sources (earlier maps; explorers reports; etc.) were integrated in a complex and agglutinative manner; a manner that we; as historians; must now "de-code". This book is a fine place to begin that process...
