In Central Asia in World History, Peter B. Golden provides an engaging account of this important region, ranging from prehistory to the present, and focusing largely on the unique melting pot of cultures that this region has produced. Golden describes the traders who braved the heat and cold along caravan routes to link East Asia and Europe; the Mongol Empire of Genghis Khan and his successors, the largest contiguous land empire in history; the invention of gunpowder, which allowed the great sedentary empires to overcome the horse-based nomads; the power struggles of Russia and China, and later Russia and Britain, for control of the area. Finally, he discusses the region today, a key area that neighbors such geopolitical hot spots as Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and China"--Provided by publisher. 000446041 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000446041 650_0 $$aGeopolitics$$zAsia, Central$$xHistory. 000446041 651_0 $$aAsia, Central$$xHistory. 000446041 651_0 $$aAsia, Central$$xCivilization. 000446041 651_0 $$aAsia, Central$$xStrategic aspects. 000446041 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aGolden, Peter B.$$tCentral Asia in world history.$$dNew York : Oxford University Press, 2011$$z9780195338195$$w(DLC) 2010020626$$w(OCoLC)587229744 000446041 830_0 $$aNew Oxford world history. 000446041 85280 $$bebk$$hEBSCOhost 000446041 85640 $$3eBooks on EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=357084$$zOnline Access 000446041 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:446041$$pGLOBAL_SET 000446041 980__ $$aEBOOK 000446041 980__ $$aBIB 000446041 982__ $$aEbook 000446041 983__ $$aOnline 000446041 994__ $$a92$$bISE
