Sinopsis

The year 2022 is the 50th anniversary of Alfred CrosbyâÇÖs celebrated book -áThe Columbian Exchange: Biological and Cultural Consequences of 1492. In the book,áCrosby was the first to discuss the impact that the Spanish and Portuguese colonialáperiod had on world agriculture and human culture. How the crops of the worldábecame homogenized, and how an indigenous culture was destroyed by disease afteráColumbus landed. His landmark study broke new ground in its broad conceptualizationáof the Atlantic exchange.Building on what Crosby so succinctly and brilliantly presented, the main goal of thisánew work is to present the depth of information that has emerged since 'The ColumbianáExchange' and to discuss more fully the development of crops and agriculture before andáafter the Iberian contact. It follows the journey of crops and livestock in the Old and New Worlds andáendâÇÖs with their distribution in todayâÇÖs world.
