American Baroque charts Spain's exploitation of Caribbean pearl fisheries to trace the genesis of its maritime empire. In the 1500s, licit and illicit trade in the jewel gave rise to global networks, connecting the Caribbean to the Indian Ocean to the pearl-producing regions of the Chesapeake and northern Europe. Pearls'a unique source of wealth because of their renewable, fungible, and portable nature'defied easy categorization. Their value was highly subjective and determined more by the individuals, free and enslaved, who produced, carried, traded, wore, and painted them than by imperial decrees and tax-related assessments. The irregular baroque pearl, often transformed by the imagination of a skilled artisan into a fantastical jewel, embodied this subjective appeal. Warsh blends environmental, social, and cultural history to construct microhistories of peoples' wide-ranging engagement with this deceptively simple jewel. Pearls facilitated imperial fantasy and personal ambition, adorned the wardrobes of monarchs and financed their wars, and played a crucial part in the survival strategies of diverse people of humble means. These stories, taken together, uncover early modern conceptions of wealth, from the hardscrabble shores of Caribbean islands to the lavish rooms of Mediterranean palaces. ...Show more

Trade Winds - A Sailing Voyage to a Sustainable Future for Shipping by Christiaan De Beukelaer

$27.60 NZD

Category: Level 02 Emergent

Almost everything you consume, from your weekly shop to the Christmas presents you ordered online, arrived by cargo ship. Shipping is the engine of the world economy, transporting 11 billion tonnes of goods each year.

Shipping is the engine of the world economy, transporting 11 billion tonnes of goods each year. Despite an environmental crisis, shipping emissions have doubled since 1990, producing over one billion tonnes of CO2, more than aviation, more than Germany, even more than France, Britain, and Italy combined.To understand whether there are any realistic and sustainable alternatives for the industry, Christiaan De Beukelaer spent 150 days covering 14,000 nautical miles on-board the Avontuur, a century old two masted schooner fitted for cargo. Trade winds traces the author’s transatlantic journey, which crystallised his thinking on the uncertain future facing the gargantuan machine that is commercial shipping. This book engagingly recounts both this personal odyssey and the journey the shipping industry is embarking on to cut its carbon emissions.'Trade Winds is an absorbing account of a voyage that starts off as an effort to prove the continuing viability of sail, but becomes far more challenging than expected when the Covid pandemic shuts of all access to the shore. It is also a thoughtful analysis of practical ways for shrinking the carbon footprint of one of the world's most polluting industries — shipping.' — Amitav Ghosh, author of The Nutmeg's Curse ...Show more
