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.
