Today, it is the east which calls out to those in search of adventure and riches. The region stretching from eastern Europe and sweeping right across Central Asia deep into China and India, is taking centre stage in international politics, commerce and culture - and is shaping the modern world. This region, the true centre of the earth, is obscure to many in the English-speaking world. Yet this is where civilization itself began, where the world's great religions were born and took root. The Silk Roads were no exotic series of connections, but networks that linked continents and oceans together. Along them flowed ideas, goods, disease and death. This was where empires were won - and where they were lost. As a new era emerges, the patterns of exchange are mirroring those that have criss-crossed Asia for millennia. The Silk Roads are rising again. A major reassessment of world history, The Silk Roads is an important account of the forces that have shaped the global economy and the political renaissance in the re-emerging east.","brand":"Frankopan, Peter","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":42125267697849,"sku":"9781408839997","price":22.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":46958958510419,"sku":"XV81408839997","price":7.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":47241340453203,"sku":"XG81408839997","price":7.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Like New","offer_id":47102201987411,"sku":"XE81408839997","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/frankopan-peter-professor-peter-frankopan-the-silk-roads-a-new-history-of-the-world-2016-paperback-58278335250771.jpg?v=1743434357"},{"product_id":"earth-transformed-the-an-untold-h","title":"Peter Frankopan: Earth Transformed The: An Untold H [2023] paperback","description":"\u003cb\u003e_______________\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom the international bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eThe Silk Roads \u003c\/i\u003ecomes a major history of how a changing climate has dramatically shaped the development-and demise-of civilisations across time.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA 2023 HIGHLIGHT FOR: \u003ci\u003eBBC NEWS * SUNDAY TIMES CULTURE * FINANCIAL TIMES * NEW EUROPEAN * GUARDIAN * NEW STATESMAN * THE TIMES * THE WEEK * \u003c\/i\u003eWATERSTONES \u003ci\u003e* \u003c\/i\u003eBLACKWELL'S\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e_______________\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhen we think about history, we rarely pay much attention to the most destructive floods, the worst winters, the most devastating droughts or the ways that ecosystems have changed over time. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Earth Transformed, \u003c\/i\u003ePeter Frankopan, one of the world's leading historians, shows that the natural environment is a crucial, if not the defining, factor in global history - and not just of humankind.
