Global Interactions in the Early Modern Age, 14001800 by Charles H Parker

Global Interactions in the Early Modern Age examines the development of world societies and views large-scale interaction between civilizations as a driving force of history. Charles Parker argues that the formation of large empires; massive movement of peoples; spread of plants, animals and microbes; and diffusion of knowledge resulted in global regional interdependence by 1800.

'Provides an interesting discussion of trade, migration, disease and religion, bringing together and summarising existing knowledge, for example of mapsIt works as the introductory text it is designed to be.' History Today
