Focusing on the interconnections of the Atlantic world from 1450-1900, The Atlantic Connection examines the major themes of Atlantic history. During this period, ships, goods, diseases, human beings and ideas flowed across the ocean, tying together the Atlantic basin in a complex web of relationships. Divided into five main thematic sections while maintaining a broadly chronological structure, this book considers key cultural themes such as gender, social developments, the economy, and ideologies as well as: - the role of the Atlantic in ensuring European dominance - the creation of a set of societies with new cultural norms and philosophical ideals that continued to evolve and to transform not only the Atlantic, but the rest of the world - the contestation over rights and justice that emerged from the Atlantic world which continues to exist as a significant issue today. The Atlantic Connection is shaped by its exploration of a key question: how did Europe come to dominate the Atlantic if not through its technological prowess? Adeptly weaving a multitude of events into a larger analytical narrative, this book provides a fascinating insight into this complex region and will be essential reading for students of Atlantic history.

Excerpt from The Conquest of the Atlantic: Texts and Lithographs This little world was surrounded by almost impenetrable mysteries. In the North, fog and frost made a chaotic, unstable element of land, sea, and air. In the South, the burning sun melted land and sea into one boiling, seeth ing mass. And far, far away, beyond mystic jungles and inaccessible mountains were the eastern wonderlands of golden towers, precious stones, and fragrant spices - mysterious Cathay, and perhaps even the Terrestrial Paradise.
