Book Synopsis
Recalling the full significance of the contact made between Europe and the Americas, this book shows how the encounter of two old worlds gave rise to a truly new world on both sides of the Atlantic. From astronomy to food, this history shows how America began transforming Europe the moment European explorers set foot on American soil.

Trade Review
Authors Käthe Roth and Denis Vaugeois have put together a fascinating compendium of English words that owe their etymological origins to native languages of the Americas. But [this book] does more . . . It is a thought-provoking read that will be a valuable resource for students and scholars alike." —Montreal Review of Books

"The book is filled with little gems throughout . . . a great reference for research. A nice addition to any library or school." —Eastern Door (Kahnawake Mohawk Nation)

"A fascinating book!" —Le Soleil (Quebec City)
