"Anyone interested in New World foundations should begin with this collection; even experts will find thought-provoking moments here."   R.T. Brown, Choice"...the breadth of Curtin's coverage and the immense learning and influence that he brings to this difficult task of synthesis doubtless puts The Rise and Fall on the short list of essential readings for anyone interested in Atlantic history."
