The Great Empires of Asia - Jim Masselos
How Asia's Mighty Empires Challenged the World
KORTE INHOUD
For many hundreds of years Asia empire dominated the world's political geography. Asia flourished economically, scientifically and culturally - and posed a constant challenge to Europe. How was imperial power won and lost, and what have been the legacies of the great empires of Asia? In answer to these questions, a distinguished team of internationally renowned scholars surveys in seven masterly chapters the greatest of Asia's empires from 800AD to the mid-20th century, from the Far East to the fringes of Europe. Splendidly illustrated and compellingly written, The Great Empires of Asia shows how those seven empires played a key role in forming today's global civilization - and how, with the renewed ascendancy of Asia, their legacies will help shape the continent's future.
