Mann tells the gripping story of globalization through travel, trade, colonization, and migration from its beginnings in the fifteenth century to the present. How did the lowly potato plant feed the poor across Europe and then cause the deaths of millions? How did the rubber plant enable industrialization? What is the connection between malaria, slavery, and the outcome of the American Revolution? How did the fabled silver mountain of sixteenth-century Bolivia fund economic development in the flood-prone plains of rural China and the wars of the Spanish Empire? Here is the story of how sometimes the greatest leaps also posed the greatest threats to human advancement. Mann's language is as plainspoken and clear as it is provocative, his research and erudition vast, his conclusions ones that will stimulate the critical thinking of young people. 1493 for Young People provides tools for wrestling with the most pressing issues of today, and will empower young people as they struggle with a changing world"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii State Library YA -- Nonfiction 909.08 Ma   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library YA -- Nonfiction 909.08 Ma   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 909.08 Ma   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 909.08 Ma   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 909.08 Ma   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Naalehu Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 909.08 Ma   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 909.08 Ma   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 909.08 Ma pap Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 909.08 Ma   Checked In Add Copy to MyList
