About this product

Product Information

Based on archival material, this book presents the history of the military, diplomatic and economic power struggle for control of the world's most lucrative food stuffs, and domination of the Indian Ocean. Clothed in mystery and lost in uncharted seas, the Spice Islands of the early sixteenth century tantalized European imagination to the point of obsession. As the only place on Earth where grew the holy trinity' of spices-cloves, nutmeg, and mace-these minuscule islands quickly became a wellspring of international intrigue and personal fortune,'

The Scents of Eden A Narrative of the Spice Trade
I have been looking for a great copy of this book for a long time. I was thrilled to find a brand new copy advertised and find that it was, as advertised, in brand new shape. I am very happy that the company advertised as it was.
