Reviews

"Silk Roads is a book to experience, rather than read . . . Beautiful, fascinating, simultaneously erudite and accessible."-- "Asian Review of Books"

"Silk Roads: People, Cultures, Landscapes is a wonderful addition to the literature on what is a huge subject--and rather like an old-fashioned encyclopedia."-- "South China Morning Post"
