While communications between the extremes of Eurasia existed prior to the Mongols  they were infrequent and often through intermediaries. As this new book by Timothy May shows  the rise of the Mongol Empire changed everythingthrough their conquests the Mongols swept away dozens of empires and kingdoms and replaced them with the largest contiguous empire in history.  While the Mongols were an extremely destructive force in the premodern world  the Mongol Empire had stabilizing effects on the social  cultural and economic life of the inhabitants of the vast territory  allowing merchants and missionaries to transverse Eurasia. The Mongol Conquests in World History examines the many ways in which the conquests were a catalyst for change  including changes and advancements in warfare  food  culture  and scientific knowledge. Even as Mongol power declined  the memory of the Empire fired the collective imagination of the region into far-reaching endeavors  such as the desire for luxury goods and spices that launched Columbuss voyage and the innovations in art that were manifested in the masterpieces of the Renaissance.  This fascinating book offers comprehensive coverage of the entire empire  rather than a more regional approach  and provides an extensive survey of the legacy of the Mongol Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946739036213,"sku":"ByrdShop_1861898673","price":74.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781861898678.jpg?v=1769964190","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-mongol-conquests-in-world-history-globalities","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
