Summary:[...] Ogborn, expert cultural/ historical geogtaphei and mastei story-teller about explorers, colonizers, merchants, slaves and slavers, enlivens his narrative with cameos of characters who parade across the 17th and 18th century global stage. Because change occurred gradually during this stretch in time Cunliffe labeled it a longue durée (as taken from the Annales School) and defined as the deep ihythm of undeilying forces influencing all human society, a histoiy in which all change is slow, a history of constant repetition, of evet iecuiiing cycles.
