Currents in Transatlantic History : Encounters, Commodities, Identities (9781623495428)



Transatlantic historians are dedicated to analyzing the dynamic process of encounter and interchange among people on all sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Much discussion has surrounded the definition, geographic limitations, and temporal scope of transatlantic history defined primarily by a conceptual approach that focuses on the interconnectedness of human experience over the centuries in the Atlantic Basin.

The forty-ninth annual Walter Prescott Webb Memorial Lecture Series Currents in Transatlantic Thought focused on a new approach to history that focuses on the complex process of interchange and adaptation beginning when Africans, Amerindians, and Europeans first came into contact and continues to the present day. The essays presented in this volume stem from those lectures to cover a variety of subjects, but each shares a unifying theme to understand the complexities of transatlantic history.

Island of Bones (9780755372041)

Cumbria, 1783. A broken heritage; a secret history... The tomb of the first Earl of Greta should have lain undisturbed on its island of bones for three hundred years. When idle curiosity opens the stone lid, however, inside is one body too many. Gabriel Crowther's family bought the Gretas' land long ago, and has suffered its own bloody history. His brother was hanged for murdering their father, the Baron of Keswick, and Crowther has chosen comfortable seclusion and anonymity over estate and title for thirty years. But the call of the mystery brings him home at last. Travelling with forthright Mrs Harriet Westerman, who is escaping her own tragedy, Crowther finds a little town caught between new horrors and old, where ancient ways challenge modern justice. And against the wild and beautiful backdrop of fells and water, Crowther discovers that his past will not stay buried. Product details ...

Industrial Districts in History and the Developing World (9789811001819)

This book sheds new light on the role of industrial districts in the industrial development of the past and present. Industrial districts, which refer to the geographical concentration of enterprises producing similar or closely related commodities in a small area, play a significant role in the development of manufacturing industries not only historically in Europe and Japan but also at present in emerging East Asian economies, such as China and Vietnam and low-income countries in sub-Saharan Africa. The book identifies similarities in the development patterns of industrial districts in history and the present and analyzes the reasons for these similarities. More specifically, the book examines whether Marshallian agglomeration economies provide sufficient explanations and seeks to deepen understanding about the important factors that are missing. Despite the common issues addressed by economic historians and development economists regarding the advantages of industrial districts for ...
