From the beginning of European expansion the question was posed: what were the \"empire tools\" that gave Europe its military superiority, even before the industrial revolution? What was it that enabled Europeans to withstand life-threatening tropical diseases and to control indigenous populations? This book gives a fresh and wide-ranging view of the construction and collapse of the modern colonial empires of Europe, the United States of America and Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bouda Etemad\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1845453387\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845453381\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2007 pg. 28","brand":"Bouda Etemad","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44125461938431,"sku":"9781845453381","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4c1ae23b-f0bc-41ee-9b0d-6ddacba4bd07.jpg?v=1687442762","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/possessing-the-world-bouda-etemad-9781845453381","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
