Abstract
"America's Gift recalls the full significance of the contact made between Europe and the Americas, mistakenly called the "New World." As Columbian intellectual German Arciniegas wrote: "From questions of astronomy to the food on our table, America began transforming Europe the moment European explorers set foot on American soil. And what a transformation it was!" Authors Käthe Roth and Denis Vaugeois ably use an alphabetical glossary to connect the particular to the universal as they reveal some of the vast contributions the Americas and their original inhabitants made to the world." --
