Eurasia's Birth: From Steppe, Desert, and Ocean
By Steppe, Desert, and Ocean is a sweeping narrative that chronicles the story of how humans first began to construct the globalized world we know today. Set against a vast continental backdrop, spanning from Europe to China, the tale covers over 10,000 years, from the origins of farming around 9000 BC to the expansion of the Mongols in the thirteenth century AD.
This unapologetically "big history" tracks the development of European, Near Eastern, and Chinese civilizations, as well as the growing interconnectivity between them through the Indian Ocean, the Silk Roads, and the great steppe corridor, which crucially allowed horseback riders to traverse the distance from Mongolia to the Great Hungarian Plain within a year.
Along the way, the narrative also recounts the rise and fall of empires, the evolution of maritime trade, and the disruptive impact of predatory nomads on their urban neighbors. Throughout this immense historical panorama, underlying factors begin to emerge into sharper focus - the acquisitive nature of humanity, the diverse environments in which people live, and the dislocating effect of even minor climatic variations - factors that have driven change throughout the ages and continue to shape our world today.
The story is one of remarkable scope and ambition, offering readers a sweeping perspective on the formative stages of globalization. By tracing the intricate web of connections that developed across Eurasia over millennia, the work provides a deeper understanding of the forces that have molded the modern world. Ultimately, By Steppe, Desert, and Ocean stands as a testament to the enduring human capacity for exploration, exchange, and the pursuit of new horizons.
