Cambridge Forum welcomes award-winning biographer LAURENCE BERGREEN as part of their fall series, "How We Live Today."

In Columbus: The Four Voyages, Bergreen retraces the voyages of Christopher Columbus, placing the 15th century explorer into the context of the Age of Discovery and examining the reasons behind his importance in U.S. history? How significant was his achievement in sailing west to find the east Indies? How did he come to be known as the discoverer of America when he never reached the continental mainland?
