Summary:	"Distinguished scholar Pamela Crossley offers a rich history of Eurasia, pivoting around the Mongol and Turkic empires. Synthesizing new interpretive approaches and grand themes of world history from 1000 to 1500, the author argues that these regimes shaped Eurasia's economic, technological, and political evolution toward the modern world."--Provided by publisher.
