 JAMES WINSLOW CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS’S LOG OF 1492
The best known of all voyages of exploration was  made by Christopher Columbus in 1492 – a lengthy, daring  journey that led to one of the biggest surprises in history:  the discovery of the Americas.   The translation of his actual log has survived and is a treasure trove:  his secrets,  royal schmoozing, management style, courteousness in meeting new cultures, celestial navigation ineptness, primitive instrumentation, extraordinary seamanship,  and  enormous good luck.  This is an amazing story!
