On the Fringes of History: A Memoir
ISBN: 9780821416457 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the 1950s professional historians claiming to specialize in tropical Africa were no more than a handful. The teaching of world history was confined to high school courses, and even those focused on European history. Philip Curtin developed a sound methodology for teaching world history and, always a controversial figure, revived the study of the history of the Atlantic slave trade. His career stands as an example of the kind of dissatisfaction and struggle that brought about a sea change in higher education. Curtin founded African Studies and the Program in Comparative World History at...

The Rise and Fall of the Plantation Complex: Essays in Atlantic History
ISBN: 9780521620765 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Over a period of several centuries, Europeans developed an intricate system of plantation agriculture overseas that was quite different from the agricultural system used at home. Though the plantation complex centered on the American tropics, its influence was much wider. Much more than an economic order for the Americas, the plantation complex had an important place in world history. These essays concentrate on the intercontinental impact.

The Rise and Fall of the Plantation Complex: Essays in Atlantic History
ISBN: 9780521629430 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Over a period of several centuries, Europeans overseas developed an intricate system of plantation agriculture - a plantation complex - that was different from the agricultural institutions they normally used at home. This economic and political order, centered on slave plantations in the New-World tropics, reached a peak in the 18th century but its earliest origins can be traced back to the medieval Mediterranean. Its end came only with the abolition of slavery in Brazil and Cuba in the late 1880s, and many aspects lasted well into the 20th century.

Death by Migration: Europe's Encounter with the Tropical World in the Nineteenth Century
ISBN: 9780521389228 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. From the beginning of European trade and conquest overseas, Europeans have known they died from the effect of the strange "climate." Later, they came to understand that it was disease, not climate, that killed, but the fact remained that every trading voyage, every military expedition beyond Europe, had its price in European lives lost. For European soldiers in the tropics at the beginning of the nineteenth century, this added cost in deaths from disease--the "relocation cost"--meant a death rate at least twice that of soldiers who stayed home. This book is partly a statistical exposition of...

ISBN: 9780521890540 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book is a study of the interaction of the Western societies of Europe and America with others around the world in the past two centuries--the age of European empire. Through a variety of case studies, it considers the European threat and the non-Western response, but the focus is on the ways in which people in Asia, African, and Indian America have tried to adapt their ways of life to the overwhelming European power of the period.

Disease and Empire: The Health of European Troops in the Conquest of Africa
ISBN: 9780521598354 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. From 1815 to 1914, death rates of European soldiers, serving both at home and abroad, dropped by nearly ninety percent. But this drop applied mainly to soldiers in barracks. Soldiers on campaign, especially in the tropics, continued to die from disease at rates as high as ever. This book examines the practice of military medicine during the conquest of Africa, especially in the 1880s and 1890s. Curtin examines what was done, what was not done, and the impact of doctors' successes and failures on the willingness of Europeans to embark on imperial adventures.

Migration and Mortality in Africa and the Atlantic World, 1700-1900
ISBN: 9780860788331 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. These papers explore the history of the tropical regions of the Atlantic basin, sometimes focused on the Caribbean, sometimes on Africa, but always with a comparative dimension. The Atlantic basin is central to most of these comparisons, but they are a part of an even broader effort to capture the perspective of world history. Some deal with the shores of the Atlantic in the framework of economic history, but the author's concern is most particularly with the role of the environment in history, especially the disease environment. Disease was particularly important for migrants who moved from...

ISBN: 9780521269315 / Angielski / Miękka / 1984 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A single theme is pursued in this book - the trade between peoples of differing cultures through world history. Extending from the ancient world to the coming of the commercial revolution, Professor Curtin??'s discussion encompasses a broad and diverse group of trading relationships. Drawing on insights from economic history and anthropology, Professor Curtin has attempted to move beyond a Europe-centred view of history, to one that can help us understand the entire range of societies in the human past. Examples have been chosen that illustrate the greatest variety of trading relationships...

Africa and Africans in the Making of the Atlantic World, 1400-1800
ISBN: 9780521627245 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 380 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) This book explores Africa's involvement in the Atlantic world from the fifteenth through the eighteenth centuries. It focuses especially on the causes and consequences of the slave trade, in Africa, in Europe, and in the New World. Prior to 1680, Africa's economic and military strength enabled African elites to determine how trade with Europe developed. Thornton examines the dynamics that made slaves so necessary to European colonizers. He explains why African slaves were placed in significant roles. Estate structure and demography affected the capacity of slaves to form a self-sustaining...
