Christopher Beckwith describes the rise and fall of the great Central Eurasian empires, including those of the Scythians, Attila the Hun, the Turks and Tibetans, and Genghis Khan and the Mongols. In addition, he explains why the heartland of Central Eurasia led the world economically, scientifically, and artistically for many centuries despite invasions by Persians, Greeks, Arabs, Chinese, and others. In retelling the story of the Old World from the perspective of Central Eurasia, Beckwith provides a new understanding of the internal and external dynamics of the Central Eurasian states and shows how their people repeatedly revolutionized Eurasian civilization. Beckwith recounts the Indo-Europeans' migration out of Central Eurasia, their mixture with local peoples, and the resulting development of the Graeco-Roman, Persian, Indian, and Chinese civilizations; he details the basis for the thriving economy of premodern Central Eurasia, the economy's disintegration following the region's partition by the Chinese and Russians in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and the damaging of Central Eurasian culture by Modernism; and he discusses the significance for world history of the partial reemergence of Central Eurasian nations after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Empires of the Silk Road places Central Eurasia within a world historical framework and demonstrates why the region is central to understanding the history of civilization. 606 $aHISTORY / Asia / Central Asia$2bisacsh 607 $aMiddle East$xHistory 607 $aEast Asia$xHistory 607 $aEurope, Eastern$xHistory 607 $aAsia, Central$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aHISTORY / Asia / Central Asia. 676 $a958 700 $aBeckwith$b Christopher I., $0480292 801 0$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248062703316 996 $aEmpires of the Silk Road$91351657 997 $aUNISA LEADER 03359nam 2200781Ia 450 001 9910784159403321 005 20230828234202.0 010 $a1-281-36290-5 010 $a9786611362904 010 $a0-230-60339-4 024 7 $a10.1057/9780230603394 035 $a(CKB)1000000000342668 035 $a(EBL)307853 035 $a(OCoLC)314775997 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000172473 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12054831 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000172473 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10160343 035 $a(PQKB)10245798 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001658667 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)16442214 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001658667 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)14985504 035 $a(PQKB)11532271 035 $a(DE-He213)978-0-230-60339-4 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC307853 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4326112 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL307853 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10171489 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4326112 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL136290 035 $a(OCoLC)437187079 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000342668 100 $a20060316d2006 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aHIV/AIDS in Russia and Eurasia$hVolume 1$b[electronic resource] /$fedited by Judyth L.
