Book Description

This volume brings together the work of twenty noted scholars to examine the nature of the encounter between Europeans and the other peoples of the world from 1450 to 1800. The book is world-wide in scope but is unified by the central underlying theme that implicit understandings influence every culture's ideas about itself and others.
