Description: The Portuguese Empire, 1415-1808A World on the Move Author(s): A. J. R. Russell-Wood Format: Paperback Publisher: Johns Hopkins University Press, United States Imprint: Johns Hopkins University Press ISBN-13: 9780801859557, 978-0801859557 Synopsis This is the story of the first and one of the greatest colonial empires: its birth, apotheosis, and decline. By approaching the history of the Portuguese empire thematically, A. J. R. Russell-Wood is able to pursue ideas and make connections that previously have been constrained by strict chronological approaches. Using the study of movement as a focus, Russell-Wood gains unique insight into the diversity, breadth, and balance between the competing interests and priorities that characterized the Portuguese culture and its expansion spanning four centuries' events on four different continents.
