| 内容简介: |
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 vi
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. |
