SynopsisNATIONAL BESTSELLER * A deeply engaging history of how European settlements in the post-Colombian Americas shaped the world--from the highly acclaimed author of 1491 . * "Fascinating...Lively...A convincing explanation of why our world is the way it is." -- The New York Times Book Review 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., A deeply engaging new history of how European settlements in the post-Colombian Americas shaped the world, from the bestselling author of 1491 .
