Socio-Environmental Dynamics along the Historical Silk Road 1st ed. 2019 Edition, Kindle Edition

by Liang Emlyn Yang (Editor), Hans-Rudolf Bork (Editor), Xiuqi Fang (Editor), Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 18 ratings
See all formats and editions
This open access book discusses socio-environmental interactions in the middle to late Holocene, covering specific areas along the ancient Silk Road regions. Over twenty chapters provide insight into this topic from various disciplinary angles and perspectives, ranging from archaeology, paleoclimatology, antiquity, historical geography, agriculture, carving art and literacy. The Silk Road is a modern concept for an ancient network of trade routes that for centuries facilitated and intensified processes of cultural interaction and goods exchange between West China, Central Asia, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean. Coherent patterns and synchronous events in history suggest possible links between social upheaval, resource utilization and climate or environment forces along the Silk Road and in a broader area. Post-graduates in studying will benefit from this work, as well as it will stimulate young researchers to further explore the role played by the environment in long-term socio-cultural changes.

Carlos Avendaño
5.0 out of 5 stars Great paleecological review of the so-called Silk Route (Western Perspective)
Reviewed in Canada on January 29, 2020
Verified Purchase
Excellent paleoecological and socio-ecological discussions and insights.

Great review about Karezes, largely unknown in the Western World, as an ancient underground water extraction technology.
