New Horizons Europe S Death And The Birth Of A New World

European society - increasingly old, sick and tired - is succumbing. Is it destined to death? In this book, thanks to the intervention of some experts, we will see what are the characteristics of the new society in transformation. What are the new horizons we are about to see. The European continent is in crisis. Europe is transforming. The decrease of the young and the increase of the elderly Europeans is leading to an increase in healthcare spending, a career and financial crisis. At the same time, new migration flows are bringing new diseases and new crime. The western and eastern ones are two worlds that meet but due to the rapidity of this meeting, it risks being a clash in which Europe will be defeated by the high African demography and the economic-financial power of China. Not only is Europe changing: the whole world is changing. Let’s see how and why.

In this book, Peter F. Krogh examines the major events and individuals which figured prominently in the movement of “centers of initiative” and of the world’s “main axis of commerce and communication” from East to West over the last five hundred years. The book follows the westward migration of the world’s “center of gravity” from China in the fifteenth century across Eurasia to the Near East, onward to Europe and then to America and, now, to the Pacific Rim. The focus is on historical figures who, by virtue of their vision and action, led the movement. It highlights what unfolds when a powerful idea is embraced by a formidable individual, who pursues the idea with uncommon ability and intensity. Along the way, the book identifies qualities that make for leadership on a grand scale which aspiring leaders may find instructive and even inspirational.

The best introduction to multiethnic New World Discovery before Columbus. Nine true adventures featuring Hatshepsut, King Solomon, Xu Fu, Marco Polo, Nicholas of Lynn, Zheng He, Martin Behaim, Amerigo Vespucci, King Arthur, Queen Elizabeth, and Francis Drake. Includes first maize (Indian corn) in Egypt, early maps of America before Columbus, Roman Florida, Albertin di Virga's 1414 map of Peru and North America, ancient artifacts and faces of Old World voyagers in Mexico and Peru, and Francis Drake's amazing "clock map."

A fun read that is also packed with new information about secret voyages, forbidden lands, and enigmas the pros have missed.
