			        		&quot;As John Butman and Simon Targett remind us in their deeply researched and well-written New World, Inc., the Pilgrim venture was the outcome of English attempts over seven decades to reach the fabled East and Cathay (China)... ...Butman and Targett unapologetically describe the mercantile foundations of the Atlantic colonies.&quot;&#x2015;Financial Times&quot;John Butman and Simon Targett explain the origins of America&apos;s colonies by examining London&apos;s businesses--especially those that attracted investors eager to explore opportunities abroad...[They] parse the kind of financial details that get lost in many similar histories.&quot;&#x2015;Peter C. Mancall, Wall Street Journal&quot;This engrossing history of adventure and innovation, disclosing the true motive for America&apos;s founding, will appeal to all readers.&quot;&#x2015;Library Journal, Starred Review&quot;Brisk and fascinating&quot;&#x2015;Foreign Affairs&quot;This is a beautifully presented and constructed book, with an arresting collection of colour pictures. It is fluently and elegantly written, and the reader is drawn from page to page, onwards through this fascinating story. In many ways it reads at times like a novel, but this is a serious piece of historical writing. Human interest and drama sit at the heart of this story, but it is also one of science, innovation, navigational daring, bravery, chance, and resilience. It is a story as exciting as it is revealing.&quot;&#x2015;Mark Fox, Reaction&quot;New World, Inc. makes a good case for changing the conversation from religious to economic migration come November&quot;&#x2015;Rob Cox, Reuters Breakingviews&quot;A highly readable book that will open most readers&apos; eyes to a fascinating and little known page of history.&quot;&#x2015;Thomas Urquhart, The Press Herald&quot;Butman and Targett argue persuasively that the myth of America&apos;s founding narrative, centered on the Pilgrims&apos; quest for religious freedom, ignores the reality of England&apos;s relationship to the New World in the 16th century... A lively and illuminating revisionist history.&quot;&#x2015;Kirkus&quot;&quot;Butman and Targett are fluent storytellers with an eye for detail&quot;&#x2015;Publishers&apos; Weekly&quot;This meticulously researched, well-written, and beautifully designed book tells the fascinating and largely untold story of the earliest days of globalization, of innovation and entrepreneurial risk-taking, and of the creation of some of the earliest venture-financed companies in the world.&quot;&#x2015;Glenn Leibowitz, Write with Impact
