{"product_id":"spice-roger-crowley-book","title":"Spice | Roger Crowley | Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eCloves and nutmeg helped draw European powers into a fierce contest over distant sea routes. Roger Crowley follows the sixteenth-century struggle for the spice trade, placing maritime exploration within a world of commercial ambition, competition and conquest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpanish and Portuguese voyages form part of a much larger trading geography across Asia and the Pacific. What Europeans sought was not simply a route across an empty ocean, but access to goods already moving through complex networks. This makes the book an engaging choice for readers interested in the forces behind the age of sail: the cargoes worth pursuing, the risks of reaching their sources and the consequences of attempts to control them. It connects seafaring history with the making of an increasingly interconnected world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roger Crowley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull title:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spice: The 16th-Century Contest that Shaped the Modern World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yale University Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780300281125\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\/08\/2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDelivery \u0026amp; Returns\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupplied to order, subject to availability.
