Reader Reviews
Most of the chapters discuss European trading activities during the period, and the European colonies in the Americas. However, there are well-written chapters on Africa, India and China as well. All articles evidence extensive research. This was the period during which European fleets bore soldiers to all parts of the earth. They enforced the monopolies of the Dutch and English East India Companies, the Spanish treasure fleets from the New World, and the Portugese Asian trading posts. They took slaves from Africa to the Americas. They took gold and silver from the Americas to Asia. They took sugar and tobacco from the Americas to Europe. They took tea, spices, jewels and cotton cloth from Asia to Africa and to Europe. So broad an exposition has limited depth. One wishes sometimes for more detail than a book of such scope could possibly deliver. Recommended strongly for those who want a context for the events of world history between the middle ages and the industrial revolution.
