This masterful work expands our appreciation
and understanding of how our global village
really began in the seventeenth century. Brook
demonstrates that the lust for luxury goods—
porcelain, silver, and beaver pelts, drove
expansion. Using several objects to illustrate
the web of trade and the explosive changes
that they wrought, Brook gives us a
remarkable view of the expanding world in
this thrilling history.
