This volume is part of a series aiming to give an overview and compendium of knowledge on the European presence beyond Europe in the early modern period. Each volume seeks to transcend nationalist histories and to examine on the global stage rather than in discrete regions important selected facets of the European overseas presence. This part of the series deals with the exploitation of resources, specifically with the exploitation of the land and the ecological and environmental impact of this exploitation. Focusing mainly on Central and South America, biological exchange, exploitation, and conservation are studied through exploring such subjects as the diffusion of Meso-American food complex to southeastern Europe, landscape, system, and identity in the post-conquest Andes, and environmental change in colonial New Mexico.
