Culture and Conquest in Mongol Eurasia. Allsen, T. T. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2001. abstract bibtex In the 13th century the Mongols created a vast empire with extensive exchanges and interactions between different regions of it, in particular between Iran and China. Allsen's study focuses on the nature, motivation and means by which these exchanges took place and communication and culture in general in the Mongol Empire. He looks at historiography, geography, cartography, agronomy, cuisine, medicine, astronomy, printing technology, with other aspects to be dealt with in a separate book. Allsen also considers the role of particular individuals in this cultural exchange such as the traveller and explorer Marco Polo, the Mongol tribesman Bolad Aqa who rose to power in the late 12th century. Thomas Allsen is one of the foremost historians of the Mongol empire. His latest book breaks new scholarly boundaries in its exploration of cultural and scientific exchanges between Iran and China. Contrary to popular belief, Mongol rulers were intensely interested in the culture of their sedentary subjects. Under their auspices, various commodities, ideologies and technologies were disseminated across Eurasia. The result was a lively exchange of scientists, scholars and ritual specialists between East and West. The book is broad-ranging and erudite and promises to become a classic in the field.
