Description:The Silk Roads continue to capture the imagination of the public, and in 2014, a section of the land routes were designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

From silk to spices, religion to dance, the traffic in goods and ideas was crucial to the development of civilizations through rich cultural interactions and economic activity. Centered around the dramatic landscapes of the Silk Roads, this beautiful volume honors the great diversity of medieval Afro-Eurasian cultures.
