Traveling the Silk Road: Ancient Pathway to the Modern World

by American Museum of Natural History, Mark A. Norell, Denise Patry Leidy, Laura Ross

Overview

An elegantly, lavishly illustrated history of the legendary Silk Road and the cultural pathway it blazed for the modern world.
 Spanning centuries of history, this engrossing book--created in conjunction with the world-famous American Museum of Natural History--takes an epic journey to major stops in China, Uzbekistan, Iraq, and beyond. Not only did people from many lands trade their goods along this incredible network of routes, they also exchanged their languages, religions, art, and technology in what can be seen as man's first engagement in globalization.
