ISBN: 9780742526624 / Angielski / Miękka / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. First Globalization presents an original and sweeping conceptualization of the grand cultural-civilizational encounter between Asia and Europe.

In Europe, the interaction was reflected in missionary reporting, cartographic representations, literary...
