How Maritime Trade and the Indian Subcontinent Shaped the World - Ice Age to Mid-Eighth Century (Hardcover)
Expected to ship within 9 - 17 working days

Worldwide maritime trade has been the driver of wealth-creation,
knowledge-collection, social, political and economic progress and
although some historians have shown that from the 15th century,
Nick Collins shows it predates the end of the Ice Age when the
Indian Ocean was the centre of long-haul voyages from east Africa
to the Americas. It demonstrates the centrality of the Indian
subcontinent. Meaningful trade gradually penetrated the
Mediterranean, resulting in more famous civilisations including
Phoenicians, Egyptians, Minoans and Greeks. How they and Hittite,
Mittani etc are related is explained. How it collapsed in Europe in
the 5th-7th centuries but continued in Asia concludes the story. It
is based on huge reading with an attractive wring style, full of
fascinating insights from an author with life-long experience in
international shipping.
