The latest instalments in this ambitious series, exploring the Golden Age of Islam and the Mongols.
Christoph Baumer - a leading explorer and historian of Central Asia, Tibet and China - has written several well-received books in the fields of history, religion, archaeology and travel. These include The Church of the East: An Illustrated History of Assyrian Christianity, Traces in the Desert: Journeys of Discovery across Central Asia and China's Holy Mountain: An Illustrated Journey into the Heart of Buddhism, all published by I.B.Tauris. His magisterial four-volume study of Central Asia began in 2012 with volume 1, The History of Central Asia: The Age of the Steppe Warriors, and continued in 2014 with volume 2, The Age of the Silk Roads. The final volume will publish in 2018.
A rarity - a labour of love, scholarship and high-class publishing
... an astounding achievement.
*Literary Review*
Many have written about Genghis Khan and his successors' national
and international military campaigns. But seldom has the prose been
so lucid and the illustrations so illuminating ... Under Baumer's
expert guidance and firm hand, historians, religious scholars and
the non-specialist can follow Genghis Khan's Islamic predecessors
and the Mongols along the surface of the earth.
