Informazioni su questo ebook
Desert Trade Roads explores the vital, yet often overlooked, historical trade networks that thrived across the world's deserts. This book highlights how these routes facilitated not only the exchange of goods like gold, salt, silk, and spices, but also the transmission of ideas, technologies, and religious beliefs, such as Islam and Buddhism. These networks showcase human ingenuity and resilience in adapting to challenging environments, demonstrating that these routes were as crucial to global interconnectedness as maritime trade routes.
The book examines specific trade routes, including the trans-Saharan trade, the Silk Road's passage through the Gobi Desert, and the incense routes of Arabia, detailing the commodities, technologies, and socio-political structures involved. By drawing from archaeological discoveries, historical texts, and ethnographic studies, Desert Trade Roads reconstructs the lives of desert traders.
The book progresses by establishing historical context, then focusing on specific routes and commodities, and finally drawing connections between history, geography, and economics, offering a comparative analysis of different desert trade networks across continents and time periods.
