Image of the cover of a book titled Beyond the Ocean: France and the Atlantic World from the Crusades to the Age of Revolutions, by Christopher Hodson and Brett Rushforth. The background image is an eighteenth-century ink and watercolor rendition of the harbor of Le Cap in modern Haiti, with three ships and one small boat foregrounded in the bay and a handful of buildings scattered on the shore in the background.

Not available until June 2026, but we have a cover! #earlymodern #skystorians
