The Columbian exchange : biological and cultural consequences of 1492 / Alfred W. Crosby, Jr. ; forewords by J.R. McNeill and Otto von Mering.
Thirty years ago, Alfred Crosby published a small work that stressed a simple point - that the most important changes brought on by the voyages of Columbus were not social or political, but biological in nature. This 30th anniversary edition includes a new preface from the author.
