Description |

A study of the creation
of one of the most significant regional systems in world history,
a system unified by the Atlantic ocean. The course will focus
on how distinct and separate cultural and biological areas that
surrounded the Atlantic were integrated into a network of exchange
rooted in the long- distance movement of people, plants, animals,
commodities and ideas. Demographic, economic and cultural consequences
are emphasized.
