Richards, to discuss themes that marked his work as a historian in an academic career of almost forty years. It encapsulates discussions under the rubric of 'frontiers' in multiple contexts. Frontier has often been conceived as a space of transformation marking new forms of economic organization, commodity trade, land settlement and state authority. The essays here underline the range of interests and approaches that marked Professor Richards' illustrious career - frontiers and state building; frontiers and environmental change; cultural frontiers; frontiers, trade and drugs; and frontiers and world history. The volume discusses issues from medieval to early modern South Asian history. It also reflects a concern for large-scale global processes and for the detailed specificities of each historical case as evident in Professor Richards' work. 517 3 $aExpanding Frontiers in South Asian & World History 606 $aHuman ecology$zSouth Asia$xHistory 606 $aImperialism$xHistory 606 $aWorld history 607 $aSouth Asia$xBoundaries$xHistory 607 $aSouth Asia$xPolitics and government 607 $aSouth Asia$xRelations 607 $aSouth Asia$xCommerce$xHistory 615 0$aHuman ecology$xHistory. 615 0$aImperialism$xHistory. 615 0$aWorld history. 676 $a954 702 $aEaton$b Richard Maxwell 702 $aFaruqui$b Munis Daniyal$f1967- 702 $aGilmartin$b David$f1949- 702 $aKumar$b Sunil$f1956- 702 $aRichards$b John F. 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910467604103321 996 $aExpanding frontiers in South Asian and world history$92489755 997 $aUNINA
