We thoroughly enjoyed this history of the Americas before Colombia, and were particularly interested in how Native people's managed the land.

Well-researched history of the Americas

Excellent source of information, interesting facts, compelling and refreshing. Very short, though.

I listened to it on the recommendation of Josh Clarke from the Stuff You Should Know podcast, who often refers to it and it was worth it, great complement to the show.

Great resource and experience

I'm not sure exactly what this book is, but it's not the complete book '1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus' which is the book I thought that I was getting. I should have noticed the short length (the full book would be >12h whereas this is <4h) so partly my fault but I regret spending a credit on this.

Not the full 1491 book.
