Beskrivning

The essays in this volume provide a comprehensive overview of Atlantic history from c.1450 to c.1850, offering a wide-ranging and authoritative account of the movement of people, plants, pathogens, products, and cultural practices--to mention some of the key agents--around and within the Atlantic basin. As a result of these movements, new peoples, economies, societies, polities, and cultures arose in the lands and islands touched by the Atlantic Ocean, while others were destroyed.

We need to look at this world inside-out, and from bottom-to-top. The essays in this Handbook, while successfully reflecting the current state of the field, also provide some illuminating suggestions as to how we might yet do that.
