		"[Russell-Wood] enumerates Portuguese contributions to other peoples' pasts and presents, especially in the contexts of the 'ebb and flow of commodities,' the 'dissemination of flora and fauna' and the 'transmission of styles, theories and ideas.'

		By approaching the history of the Portuguese empire thematically, A. Russell-Wood is able to pursue ideas and make connections that previously have been constrained by strict chronological approaches.
