Description

Explore the fascinating history of how early modern Europeans encountered the wildlife of Iberian America. During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, travelers to the New World documented their encounters through written texts and pictorial records. This book uses those primary sources to tell a story of discovery and changing perspectives. Readers will follow the evolution of European thought, from the initial wonder felt when seeing strange new beasts to a more practical approach. The text examines how these creatures were eventually assessed for their economic and medical potential. It tracks the movement of these animals from the realm of the fantastic into the mainstream of early modern natural history. This work is ideal for those interested in social and cultural history, providing a detailed look at how perceptions of the natural world shifted during a period of global expansion. It offers a unique window into the minds of early explorers and the impact of New World fauna on European scientific thought.
