Did sixteenth century Portuguese navigators reach as far as Australia and New Zealand? Did they draw charts of the coastlines? After more than 200 years of speculation and debate an answer to these questions is at last within our reach -- thanks largely to science and logic. This book is the first to get past the speculation, and to transport the reader to a place where a resolution is not only possible, but likely. A fascinating read
