Ashgate Publishing Limited, UK, 1997. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Condition. Some light marking to side and bottom edge of the page and both sides of the boards. Back board is slightly warped.This volume contains 15 articles dealing with medical and demographic consequences of the expansion of Europe into the New World and South America. The articles focus on subjects such as the origin of syphilis; the depopulation of Hispaniola; the firts New World pandemic and the fall of the great Indian empires; Andean epidemic history; the effects of disease on the slave trade; smallpox and the Indians in the American colonies; the significance of disease in the extinction of the New England Indians; and the effects of smallpox in Aboriginal Australia. The volume also looks at the effects of scurvy on European sailors on their voyages of expansion as a result of vitamin C deficiency. Book Description: 'Wherever the European has trod, death seems to pursue the aboriginal.' So wrote Charles Darwin in 1836. Though there has been considerable discussion concerning their precise demographic impact, reflected in the articles here, there is no doubt that the arrival of new diseases with the Europeans (such as typhus and smallpox) had a catastrophic effect on the indigenous population of the Americas, and later of the Pacific. In the Americas, malaria and yellow fever also came with the slaves from Africa, themselves imported to work the depopulated land. These diseases placed Europeans at risk too, and with some resistance to both disease pools, Africans could have a better chance of survival. Also covered here is the controversy over the origins of syphilis, while the final essays look at agricultural consequences of the European expansion, in terms of nutrition both in North America and in Europe. : Review: 'A principal objective of the Expanding World series is the establishment of the cross-cultural context of European interaction with non-European populations. The volume under review plays an important role in achieving that goal. It succeeds in bringing together some of the finest, most insightful scholarship from the periodical literature. The collection is highly recommended.' Sixteenth Century Journal 'European and Non-European Societies and Christianity and Missions along with the other volumes in An Expanding World should become a standard collection for any academic library. The invaluable bibliography, the variety of themes, and the historical problems will engage students of all levels, undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral, in many aspects of early modern and world history for years to come.'
