Rezensionen
"It documents an important and laudable scholarly effort to up-date, advance and channel historical research on the impact of maritime trade and exchange between Europe and Asia in the early modern period in new and exciting directions ... . It is a generally successful collective work and should be welcomed and engaged with. ... Goods from the East does succeed in updating, advancing and channeling our historical research on those topics."
