Peter Thonning, a young natural historian of the highly economic and geographical Linnaean school, spent three formative years in Africa and then for decades administered Denmark's African colonial undertakings. The international movement of colonial news and ideas can very usefully be traced in his unpublished writings, especially among the Guinea Commission's extraordinarily wide-ranging records. These rich archives and contemporary published opinion in this cosmopolitan Scandinavian society open fresh perspectives on the broader history and geography of European colonialism"-- Publisher's website. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Thonning, Peter,|d1775-1848.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79146104 600 17 Thonning, Peter,|d1775-1848.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/47526 648 7 1659-1850|2fast 650 7 Colonies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/868456 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 651 0 Denmark|xColonies|zAfrica|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85036743|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005024 651 7 Denmark.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204558 651 7 Africa.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1239509 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 830 0 Atlantic world (Leiden, Netherlands) ;|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/names/n2003105715|vv. 24. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=513464|zOnline eBook.
