Nomads : the wanderers who shaped our world
Nomads : the wanderers who shaped our world
An engaging and fascinating account of how those who roamed shaped our world. Well worth reading although and in many ways tells the untold story of our histories especially in Eurasia. Fascinating although it does seem to favour nomads more than settlers who after all lay foundations for how we live today but there again that story has been told time and again. Goes into some detail in north America and China gets a mention along with Australia. But other areas such as sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America and western Europe are glossed over completely. Guess it's a long enough book anyway. Worth the time.
