Thomas T. Allsen (Ewing The College of New Jersey)

Culture and Conquest in Mongol Eurasia

Herausgeber: Morgan, David

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Thomas Allsen's latest book breaks new scholarly boundaries in its exploration of cultural and scientific exchanges across Mongol Eurasia. Contrary to popular belief, Mongol rulers were intensely interested in the culture of their sedentary subjects and, under their auspices, commodities, ideologies and technologies were disseminated from East to West.
