This is the book that I finished last night, just playing catch up on logging in the books now. The rest of this title is: The Seventeenth Center and the Dawn of the Global World. The author looks at paintings by Vermeer and objects in the painting such as the hat and looks at where it has come from--from North American beaver pelts. A Chinese bowl and silver coins and a lot to do with trade with China. A really interesting look at what was going on and how he related it back to the Dutch and what was going on there.
There are 4 WL for the book but this book has a ton of highlighting and underlining in it. I guess it was a textbook for some previous owner. I can post & mail so long as I let the person know & if they are okay with it but it really is a lot. Will have to see on this one.
