Thirty years ago, Alfred Crosby published a small work that illuminated 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 “Columbian exchange,” between the Old World and the New, changed the history of our planet drastically and forever. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)Subject
