About This Book

De auteur biedt een populaire, thematisch gerichte schets van Europese ontdekkingsreizen en hun langzame maatschappelijke gevolgen. Met aansprekende voorbeelden zoals de introductie van de aardappel en de ontwikkeling van instrumenten als het kompas en de stoomkracht legt hij uit hoe uitvindingen en ontdekkingen vaak eeuwen nodig hebben om algemeen nut te krijgen. Vervolgens wordt een overzicht gegeven van de motieven en routes van zeevaarders en van de economische, technologische en sociale verschuivingen die het wereldbeeld en handelsnetwerken veranderden en zo een nieuw historische tijdvak inleidden.
