Mann tells the gripping story of globalization through travel, trade, colonization, and migration from its beginnings in the fifteenth century to the present. How did the lowly potato plant feed the poor across Europeand then cause the deaths of millions? How did the rubber plant enable industrialization? What is the connection between malaria, slavery, and the outcome of the American Revolution? How did the fabled silver mountain of sixteenth-century Bolivia fund economic development in the flood-prone plains of rural China and the wars of the Spanish Empire? Here is the story of how sometimes the greatest leaps also posed the greatest threats to human advancement. Mann's language is as plainspoken and clear as it is provocative, his research and erudition vast, his conclusions ones that will stimulate the critical thinking of young people. 1493 for Young People provides tools for wrestling with the most pressing issues of today, and will empower young people as they struggle with a changing world"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Columbus, Christopher $x Influence $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a History, Modern $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Economic history $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Commerce $x History $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Agriculture $x History $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Ecology $x History $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Industrial revolution $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Slave trade $x History $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Globalization $v Juvenile literature. 650 7 $a JUVENILE NONFICTION / History / Central & South America. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a JUVENILE NONFICTION / History / Exploration & Discovery. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a JUVENILE NONFICTION / Social Science / Customs, Traditions, Anthropology. $2 bisacsh 651 0 $a America $x Economic aspects $x Economic aspects $v Juvenile literature. 651 0 $a America $x Environmental aspects $x Environmental aspects $v Juvenile literature. 700 1 $a Stefoff, Rebecca, $d 1951- 941 $a 5 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611023354.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722054111.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006093015.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20180727011848.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20170601012005.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=19D4BFC647CB11E598A1CBA4DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
