The Columbian Exchange: Biological and Cultural Consequences of 1492

Thirty years ago, Alfred Crosby published a small work that illuminated a simple point: the most important changes germinated by the voyages of Columbus were not social or political, but biological in nature. He told the story of how 1492 sparked the movement of organisms large and small in both directions across the Atlantic. This "Columbian exchange" between the Old World and the New brought dramatic and irrevocable change to our entire planet's history.

The Columbian Exchange brought profound and lasting change the field of history. It has become one of the foundational works in the burgeoning field of environmental history, and remains one of the canonical texts for the study of world history. This 30th anniversary edition of The Columbian Exchange includes a new preface from the author, reflecting on the book and its creation, and a new foreword by J. R. McNeill.
