The Oxford Handbook of the Atlantic World 1450-1850 [Hardcover]

The essays in this volume provide a comprehensive overview of Atlantic history fromc.1450 toc.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.
