The era from 1400 to 1800 saw intense biological, commercial, and
cultural exchanges, and the creation of global connections on an
unprecedented scale. Divided into two books, Volume 6 of the
Cambridge World History series considers these critical
transformations. The first book examines the material and political
foundations of the era, including global considerations of the
environment, disease, technology, and cities, along with regional
studies of empires in the eastern and western hemispheres,
crossroads areas such as the Indian Ocean, Central Asia, and the
Caribbean, and sites of competition and conflict, including
Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Mediterranean. The second book
focuses on patterns of change, examining the expansion of
Christianity and Islam, migrations, warfare, and other topics on a
global scale, and offering insightful detailed analyses of the
Columbian exchange, slavery, silver, trade, entrepreneurs, Asian
religions, legal encounters, plantation economies, early
industrialism, and the writing of history.
