John K. Thornton provides a comprehensive overview of the history of the Atlantic Basin before 1830 by describing political, social and cultural interactions between the continents' inhabitants. He traces the backgrounds of the populations on these three continental landmasses brought into contact by European navigation. Thornton then examines the political and social implications of the encounters, tracing the origins of a variety of Atlantic societies and showing how new ways of eating, drinking, speaking and worshipping developed in the newly created Atlantic World. This book uses close readings of original sources to produce new interpretations of its subject. 606 $aCivilization, Modern 607 $aAtlantic Ocean Region$xHistory 607 $aAtlantic Ocean Region$xCivilization 615 0$aCivilization, Modern. 676 $a909/.09821 700 $aThornton$b John K$g(John Kelly),$f1949-$0244764 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792086703321 996 $aA cultural history of the Atlantic world, 1250-1820$93758423 997 $aUNINA
