Get the Summary of Charles C. Mann's 1493 in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary and not the original book. Original book introduction: As Charles C. Mann shows, the Columbian Exchange underlies much of subsequent human history. Presenting the latest research by ecologists, anthropologists, archaeologists, and historians, Mann shows how the creation of this worldwide network of ecological and economic exchange fostered the rise of Europe, devastated imperial China, convulsed Africa, and for two centuries made Mexico City- where Asia, Europe, and the new frontier of the Americas dynamically interacted- the center of the world. In such encounters, he uncovers the germ of today's fiercest political disputes, from immigration to trade policy to culture wars
