For centuries, fame and fortune was to be found in the west - in
the New World of the Americas. 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.
