Author: Warwick BallTitle: The Eurasian SteppeBinding: PaperbackNumber Of Pages: 424Release Date: 2021-11-01Details: A geographical area, not a political entity, the steppe connect s the western and eastern parts of the Eurasian land mass. As such, it is always open, subject to constant movement between Asia and Europe. Warwick Ball tells the story of that movement from prehistory to the present. From nomadic peoples to conquering empires, from tales of Amazon women to art nouveau, and from golden grave goods to the formation of countries that still exist today, Ball shows how the steppe has continually shaped Europe's destiny. Ultimately, he shows that the steppe and the movement of peoples across it are so crucial that they question the very idea of 'Europe' as a separate cultural and historical construct.EAN: 9781474488068Package Dimensions: Height: 9.5 Inches, Length: 6.75 Inches, Weight: 2.35012771292 Pounds, Width: 1 Inches Show more
