DISCOVERY IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC: FROM THE 6TH TO 17TH CENTURY J.J. Sharp Halifax, Nimbus Publishing, 1991. 138pp, paper, $12.95 ISBN 0-921054-89-0. CIP Grades 9 and up/Ages 14 and up Reviewed by Michele F. Kallio Volume 20 Number 3 1992 May An excellent read! In this attractive 6" x 9" volume, Sharp examines all of the early discoverers in the North Atlantic, from St. Brendan in the sixth century to Sir Humphrey Gilbert in the seventeenth. He concentrates on the North Atlantic, thereby introducing readers to the lesser known adventurers like Gunnbjorn Ulf-Kraskuson, accidental discoverer of Greenland, and John Guy, who landed with thirty-nine men in Cupid's Cove, Newfoundland, in August 1610. Sharp also retells the adventures of better known explorers such as Champlain and Cartier. The book will appeal to adults and students alike; it is an excellent resource book for libraries (both school and public). Illustrated with photographs and line drawings, the book is indexed and lists the author's sources. This volume is highly recommended for Canadian studies courses. Recommended. Michele F.
