Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In presenting new and fresh case studies on European knowledge about New Worlds as well as trade and commerce with the latter, this book will contribute to a better understanding of how, when and why Europeans made sense of the Atlantic World and how they tried to connect with Atlantic trade and commerce. With case studies discussing these issues from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries, the volume will show how European engagements with the Atlantic World evolved and how much the Atlantic was (or was not) part of their worlds or just one part of one world with many centers of interest."
