The book explores the biological factors behind the European displacement of native populations in temperate regions, arguing that ecological reasons played a significant role in European expansion beyond mere military dominance. Alfred Crosby revisits his influential work in this new edition, providing fresh insights into the interplay of environment and imperialism. With a distinguished background as an author and educator, Crosby's analysis combines historical context with ecological considerations, making it a thought-provoking read on the impact of European imperialism.
