A deeply engaging new history of how European settlements in the
post-Colombian Americas shaped the world, from the bestselling
author of "1491." Presenting the latest research by biologists,
anthropologists, archaeologists, and historians, Mann shows how the
post-Columbian network of ecological and economic exchange fostered
the rise of Europe, devastated imperial China, convulsed Africa,
and for two centuries made Mexico City--where Asia, Europe, and the
new frontier of the Americas dynamically interacted--the center of
the world. In this history, Mann uncovers the germ of today's
fiercest political disputes, from immigration to trade policy to
culture wars. In "1493," Mann has again given readers an
eye-opening scientific interpretation of our past, unequaled in its
authority and fascination.
