| Note | Journey to the East / edited by Daniel Crouch et al. Explores the cartographic dimension of attempts by the English, Dutch, and French East India companies, to dominate and control the lucrative Spice Trade
"The world's obsession with discovering the exotic source of cinnamon and other elusive spices grew throughout the Roman era and into the medieval period, defining what it meant to be wealthy and powerful. From India to Europe the trade had a profound social, emotional and economic impact; giving rise to some of the first truly international trade routes, and shaping the structure of the world economy in a way that can still be felt today." -- Publisher's website |
