Ecological Imperialism
People of European descent form the bulk of the population in most of the temperate zones of the world - North America, Australia and New Zealand. The military successes of European imperialism are easy to explain; in many cases they were a matter of firearms against spears. But as Alfred W. Crosby maintains in this highly original and fascinating book, the Europeans' displacement and replacement of the native peoples in the temperate zones was m…
American Pandemic
In the final months of 1918 and the earliest months of 1919, a pandemic-of all such tidal waves of infection arithmetically the worst ever in absolute numbers of sick and dead-swept over our species.As many as one-third of all human beings fell ill and fifty million may have died, several times over as many as in combat in the World War to which the pandemic provided the continuo.This world-wide detonation of influenza was colossal, yet generatio…
Gran historia como historia ambiental
El texto es una demostración de "macrohistoria ambiental", en continuidad con el libro The Columbian Exchange publicado hace 40 años. Y para resolver mejor las preguntas se remonta hasta unos 50,000 años, con la llegada de los primeros humanos a lo que será el continente americano, donde desarrollaron sistemas agrícolas variados, y en algunos aspectos superiores a los del Viejo Mundo (mandioca, papa, maíz). Una hectárea de papa, con un poco de le…

Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 2005. Pp. xiii+289. $27.95. Most historians write history as if the human experience has been a matter of ripples and waves, not of tides. James McCann is more interested in tides. The subject of his book is mai…

America's Forgotten Pandemic
Between August 1918 and March 1919 the Spanish influenza spread worldwide, claiming over 25 million lives - more people than perished in the fighting of the First World War. It proved fatal to at least a half-million Americans. Yet, the Spanish flu pandemic is largely forgotten today. In this vivid narrative, Alfred W. Crosby recounts the course of the pandemic during the panic-stricken months of 1918 and 1919, measures its impact on American soc…

Notes of a Potato Watcher (review)
This book is not for the reader who is looking for a tightly focused study of the potato. This book is by a man who is deeply informed about said tuber and its role in the human story—he includes a delicious twenty-three page bibliography, a page and a half of websites, plus footnotes galore—but is also passionately and personally engaged, too much so to leave out anything that might be pertinent. Notes of a Potato Watcher includes a brief and ex…

La confiance en son avenir qui caractérisait l'ère des Pères Fondateurs de la jeune république (et qui caractérise encore les Américains de nos jours) était basée en premier lieu sur la certitude que le taux de natalité des colonisateurs et pionniers était — et resterait — bien supérieur à celui du vieux monde. Les historiens ne peuvent que leur donner raison sur ce point. Or, le maintien d'un haut niveau de croissance démographique n'était rendu…

Virgin Soil Epidemics as a Factor in the Aboriginal Depopulation in America
URING the last few decades historians have demonstrated increasing concern with the influence of disease in history, particularly the history of the New World. For example, the latest generation of Americanists chiefly blames diseases imported from the Old World for the disparity between the number of American aborigines in I492 new estimates of which soar as high as one hundred million or approximately one-sixth of the human race at that time an…
The Early History of Syphilis
The historical record and examination of disinterred human bones indicate that venereal syphilis is very old in America but did not appear in the Old World until about 1500. Traditionally it has been believed that the disease was brought to the Old World by Columbus in the 1490s. The most popular alternative hypothesis at present is that venereal syphilis is really only one facet of a disease-treponematosis, appearing as yaws in the tropics, nonv…
