Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the development of the Orient and Central Europe, from the Far East to the British Isles. The author takes a chronological and geographical approach, beginning with the earliest civilizations along the Nile River in Egypt and following the spread of ideas, innovations, and empires across the continents. The book examines the rise and fall of great powers, the influence of religion and philosophy, and the impact of trade and commerce on the development of human societies. The author argues that the history of the Orient and Europe is a story of continuous exchange and interaction, and that the modern world is the product of a long and complex process of cultural and intellectual cross-fertilization.
