Discover how spices, scents, and silks ignited global exploration and shaped civilizations in “SPICES, SCENTS AND SILK: CATALYSTS OF WORLD TRADE” by James Hancock. For millennia, these exotic luxuries fueled ancient empires like Egypt, Sumer, and Harappa, driving the creation of vast trade networks. This compelling book reveals how the limited origins of these prized commodities, from distant lands to the wealthy West, spurred daring voyages, including Columbus’s accidental discovery of the New World. Hancock expertly details the domestication, culture, and profound impact of these sought-after goods, exploring how the intense demand and fierce competition for control over their production dramatically influenced history and the global economy. A fascinating journey into the heart of world trade’s most influential commodities.
