1493: Uncovering the New World Columbus Created Non Fiction A fascinating look at one of the lesser-known, lesser-considered aspects of what happened when Columbus and his crew set foot on American soil: the environmental upheaval that began as they brought plants, animals and diseases that forever changed the local biosphere, both in America and in Europe once the explorers returned to the Old World.

The Swerve Non Fiction. "This is a story of how the world swerved in a new direction. The agent of change was not a revolution, an implacable army at the gates, or landfall of an unknown continent. The epochal change with which this book is concerned is not so easily associated with a dramatic image.”
