	THE ARCHIPELAGO OF MADEIRA IN THE XV-CENTURY
		In short, the Madeira economy was dominated by grain and this, as Fernando Jasmins Pereira says, constituted the basis of the colonisation of the island in the period of the Infante.
		Madeira was the first of the islands to merit an effective occupation and the foundations of its trade were built on the contacts it possessed with the coastal zones of origin of its settlers and with the principal marketplaces of the homes of its visiting merchants.
		The evolution of the history of Madeira from the XV-century is thus determined by the interaction of the efforts of these Europeans with the effects of the technology and goods which the first to arrive brought in their baggage and with the conditions of the island's eco-system (elevation, climate and soil).

	Madeira Levada Walks - An abbreviated guide to the waterways and their paths on Madeira
		It is incumbent on the visitor to protect and not disturb the sensitive "lifeblood" of Madeira: to recognise the waterways as part of Madeira's agricultural infrastructure, as part of its utility as a water supply, and as part of the Madeiran tourism economy.
		Madeira-island.com has collected several articles and links to other sites to help elaborate the rich experience and importance of Madeira Levadas and Levada Walking.
		More importantly, the Levadas are the systems of irrigation and supplies of potable water to most of the island.

	SUGAR
		Since sugar cane had been introduced to Madeira and the Canaries after their colonization during the last half of the fifteenth century, the techniques of sugar production, exploitation of labor, and economic organization developed on these islands were easily exported to the new world.
		Consequently, the plantation system and the sugar refining industry, rather than the harvesting of spices and silk production, were destined to shape the economy and society of Brazil and the West Indies.
		Ultimately, the adoption of these production techniques and the system of colonial government from the Atlantic islands, with the institution of slavery, made sugar production the most profitable cultivation in either the Americas or Europe.

	Book Review
		Block's work treats one of the most marginal European settlements in America, the Jesuit mission at Moxos in the upper Madeira system at the border of Bolivia and Brazil, far removed from the Spanish core in the Andean highlands and the Portuguese settlements on the distant Atlantic shore.
		There, from 1683 to 1882, a handful of Jesuits labored to integrate the indigenous population into the white religion, polity and economy.
		Despite its many virtues and its sympathy for the indigenes of Moxo however, like most mission history it remains a story of the valiant and resourceful Europeans fighting to further their civilization against tremendous odds--still a chapter in European history from the European perspective.
