I am looking for English language books on Portugals exploration and colonization. Something a bit like Parry's "The Spanish Seaborne Empire" but for Portugal's possessions in Brazil, Africa, the Indian Ocean, etc. Any suggestions?

Google the same; or use any search engine you like. There are dozens.

Here's one example: Abernethy, David (2000). http://books.google.com/books?id=ennqNS1EOuMC - - ISBN http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:BookSources/0-300-09314-4 - . http://books.google.com/books?id=ennqNS1EOuMC -

This one is old, but a good place to start:
