a most EXCELLENT companion to Crosby's Ecological Imperialism, and perhaps a GGS, with this and Crosby being the stronger. The criticisms about him focusing on military history too much are only sort of true for earlier chapters (and again informative and fun) but the Columbian exchange, slave trade, americas chapters have been par excellence. The marriage of empire, ecology and economy, etc here is just wow.

This book single handedly convinced me that Rome/the Vatican are possibly the dumbest settlement spots in human history. Pontine Marshes, possibly the most decisive terrain in European/religious history. Another reason Julius C. getting got was bad. How did nobody till Mussolini do anything about the Marshes?
