Excellent Source

This is an excellent resource for those who are trying to learn about the Atlantic World. This is a collection of well-edited seminal articles about the Atlantic historical exchanges. The book is inexpensive and readily available--a better alternative than looking for the articles yourself. Probably the best feature is the editing work itself. Most of the articles here have been recognized, highly scholarly pieces, which originally appealed to specialists. However, in the book they have been edited to reach out to the general audience to which is meant, without losing their scholarly significance.
