Our next book is 1491: New Revelations of the Americas before Columbus by Charles C. Mann. Mann synthesizes many new discoveries about the cultures and civilizations on Western hemisphere before the arrival of Europeans. The title made the year end best lists of Time magazine, the Boston Globe, Salon, the San Jose Mercury News, Discover Magazine, the San Francisco Chronicle, USA Today, the New York Sun, the Times Literary Supplement, and the New York Times.
