About This Item
New York: Cambridge University Press, 1999. Ninth Printing . Trade Paperback. Near Fine. 5 1/2" x 8 1/2. 368 Pages Indexed. First published in 1986 this is the Seventh Printing of the 1999 Canto Edition. Illustrated with Seven Figures and 20 Plates. No defects noted and has the feel of a book never read. People of European descent form the bulk of the population in most of the temperate zones of the world - North America, Australia and New Zealand. The military successes of European imperialism are easy to explain; in many cases they were a matter of firearms against spears. But as Alfred Crosby explains in his highly original and fascinating book, the Europeans' displacement and replacement of the native peoples in the temperate zones was more a matter of biology than of military conquest. Contents: Prologue, Pangaca Revisited the Neolithic Reconsidered, The Norse and the Crusades,The Fortunate Isles, Winds, Within Reach Beyond Grasp, Weeds, Animals, Ills, New Zealand, Explanations, and Conclusion. Plus Appendix What was the "smallpox" in New South Wales in 1789?
