Book Description:

This module invites students to explore the historiography and sources of the Atlantic Basin during the age of exploration. Once a nearly impassable barrier, Columbus and subsequent explorers punctured the veil of ignorance and uncertainty cloaking the Atlantic. In doing so, they raised the curtain on a new, dramatic chapter of cross-cultural encounters whose cultural, political, economic, and biological exchanges transformed the modern world.
