Congratulations to Tim Coates on his just released book entitled, Brazil at the Dawn of the Eighteenth Century, published by U. Massachusetts/Dartmouth Press.
This publication is a translation of a work authored by the Italian Jesuit Giovanni Antonio Andreoni and provides detailed descriptions of the sugar plantations and other economic enterprises in seventeenth century Brazil. No doubt this will become an important window into the economy of seventeenth century Brazil and related aspects of life
