Nem Colombo nem Fernão de Magalhães se lhe comparam. Vasco da Gama foi o homem que fez o mundo passar da Idade Média para a Idade Moderna. Depois de muitas décadas a tentar chegar à Índia, após tentativas em que morreram milhares de portugueses e se perderam dezenas de navios, Vasco da Gama foi o navegador que fez o impossível: uniu, pela primeira vez na História, a Europa e a Ásia pelo mar. Circum-navegar África e o desconhecido foi heroico. Enfrentar as tempestades do Oceano Índico foi lendário. Liderar a mais longa viagem marítima de sempre foi incomparável. Mas descobrir a rota marítima para as Índias e, com isso, aceder às fabulosas riquezas do Oriente foi o que verdadeiramente mudou a História do mundo para sempre. A viagem de Vasco da Gama foi um choque comercial, uma revolução religiosa, um terramoto cultural. Sem o saber, ele foi o primeiro homem a sair da Idade Média e a entrar na Idade Moderna. E, no entanto, o que se sabe verdadeiramente sobre o maior navegador de sempre? Baseando-se em documentos clássicos e em fontes inéditas, Sanjay Subrahmanyam apresenta nos, pela primeira vez, a verdadeira vida e contexto social de Vasco da Gama, focando-se no equilíbrio frágil entre a sua «carreira» e a sua «lenda», tocando temas como a construção de mitos e o nacionalismo, sem nunca se esquecer da verdadeira grandeza do maior navegador de sempre.

The Portuguese in West Africa, 1415–1670 brings together a collection of documents - all in new English translation - that illustrate aspects of the encounters between the Portuguese and the peoples of North and West Africa in the period from 1400 to 1650. This period witnessed the diaspora of the Sephardic Jews, the emigration of Portuguese to West Africa and the islands, and the beginnings of the black diaspora associated with the slave trade. The documents show how the Portuguese tried to understand the societies with which they came into contact and to reconcile their experience with the myths and legends inherited from classical and medieval learning. They also show how Africans reacted to the coming of Europeans, adapting Christian ideas to local beliefs and making use of exotic imports and European technologies. The documents also describe the evolution of the black Portuguese communities in Guinea and the islands, as well as the slave trade and the way that it was organized, understood, and justified.

NEW YORK TIMES ' NOTABLE BOOK OF 2011 LONGLISTED FOR THE MARITIME MEDIA AWARDS SHORTLISTED FOR THE HESSELL-TILTMAN HISTORY PRIZE In 1498 a young captain sailed from Portugal, circumnavigated Africa, crossed the Indian Ocean, and discovered the sea route to the Indies, opening up access to the fabled wealth of the East. It was the longest voyage known to history; the ships were pushed to their limits, their crews were racked by storms and devastated by disease. However, the greatest enemy was neither nature nor the fear of venturing into unknown worlds. With blood-red Crusader crosses emblazoned on their sails, the explorers arrived in the heart of the Muslim East at a time when the old hostilities between Christianity and Islam had intensified. In two voyages that spanned six years, Vasco da Gama would fight a running sea battle that would ultimately change the fate of three continents. The Last Crusade is an epic tale of spies, intrigue, and treachery; of bravado, brinkmanship, and confused - often comical collisions - between cultures encountering one another for the first time. With the world once again tipping back East, The Last Crusade offers a key to understanding age-old religious and cultural rivalries resurgent today.

Brilliant and engagingly written, Why Nations Fail answers the question that has stumped the experts for centuries: Why are some nations rich and others poor, divided by wealth and poverty, health and sickness, food and famine? Is it culture, the weather, geography? Perhaps ignorance of what the right policies are? Simply, no. None of these factors is either definitive or destiny. Otherwise, how to explain why Botswana has become one of the fastest growing countries in the world, while other African nations, such as Zimbabwe, the Congo, and Sierra Leone, are mired in poverty and violence? Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson conclusively show that it is man-made political and economic institutions that underlie economic success (or lack of it). Korea, to take just one of their fascinating examples, is a remarkably homogeneous nation, yet the people of North Korea are among the poorest on earth while their brothers and sisters in South Korea are among the richest. The south forged a society that created incentives, rewarded innovation, and allowed everyone to participate in economic opportunities. The economic success thus spurred was sustained because the government became accountable and responsive to citizens and the great mass of people. Sadly, the people of the north have endured decades of famine, political repression, and very different economic institutions—with no end in sight. The differences between the Koreas is due to the politics that created these completely different institutional trajectories. Based on fifteen years of original research Acemoglu and Robinson marshall extraordinary historical evidence from the Roman Empire, the Mayan city-states, medieval Venice, the Soviet Union, Latin America, England, Europe, the United States, and Africa to build a new theory of political economy with great relevance for the big questions of today, including: - China has built an authoritarian growth machine. Will it continue to grow at such high speed and overwhelm the West? - Are America’s best days behind it? Are we moving from a virtuous circle in which efforts by elites to aggrandize power are resisted to a vicious one that enriches and empowers a small minority? - What is the most effective way to help move billions of people from the rut of poverty to prosperity? More philanthropy from the wealthy nations of the West? Or learning the hard-won lessons of Acemoglu and Robinson’s breakthrough ideas on the interplay between inclusive political and economic institutions? Why Nations Fail will change the way you look at—and understand—the world.
