First Paperback Edition "In this study of European expansion in the middle ages, Dr. Fernández-Armesto explores the links between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic worlds. A brief introduction analyses the problems which face students and historians. Part I then surveys the areas of expansion in the Western Mediterranean. Part II sketches the beginnings of exploration and colonisation in the Atlantic before Columbus, and highlights the impact on geography and anthropology of the discovery of Atlantic 'space.' The emphasis throughout is on tracing elements of continuity or discontinuity between the Mediterranean and Atlantic worlds, and on studying how colonial societies originate and behave. Dr. Fernández-Armesto draws on a wide range of material to provide a stimulating and original account of the expansion of Europe's physical and mental horizons" [from the back cover] ISBN: 0333403835 Book is in Very Good Plus Condition: pages bright, clean, tight, and unmarked; light wear back cover and reading crease front cover along the spine.
