      abstract = {Throughout human history, routes concentrated, funnelled,  and mixed human experience. On them moved books, scrolls,  and art, in addition to armies, ambassadorial entourages,  slaves, brides, and pilgrims. The interaction of people on  routes generated surprising innovations in ideas,  religions, art, technology, and cuisine. Common themes  appear repeatedly, such as slavery, piracy, government  taxation and control, medicinal plants, military  expeditions, the interaction of competing religions,  processing of goods along the way, and networks of credit,  trust, and information that often spanned continents.},
