ESSAY ON: "Silk Roads or Steppe Roads? The Silk Roads in World History": A Review of the Article by David Christian

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: A 5 page discussion presenting the contention that silk roads must be thought of in broader terms for world history, not only as a "trans-civilizational route, but also as a trans-ecological route. Christian presents a series of observations supporting that contention. Many factors combined, in fact, to speed the ecological impacts which would occur as a result of the silk road commerce. These factors would include the direct impact of the roads themselves on the environment as well as indirect impacts such as the agricultural, hunting, mining, and other pursuits which the roads encouraged. No additional sources are listed.
