bookbestseller Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 The Center of the World: A Global History of the Persian Gulf from the Stone Age to the Present by Allen James FromherzEnglish | September 3, 2024 | ISBN: 0520398556 | 360 pages | MOBI | 10 MbThis sweeping history reorients our understanding of the Middle East, placing the Gulf at the heart of globalized trade and cross-cultural encounters.World history began in the Persian Gulf. The ancient port cities that dotted its coastlines created the first global seaboard, a place from where faiths and cultures from around the world set sail and made contact. More than a history, The Center of the World shows us that contradictions that define our modern age have always been present.For over four thousand years, the Gulf-sometimes called the Persian Gulf, sometimes the Arabian Gulf-has been a global crossroads while managing to avoid control by the world's greatest empires. In its history, we see a world of rapid change, fluctuating centers of trade, a dependency on uncertain global markets, and intense cross-cultural encounters that hold a mirror to the contemporary world. Focusing each chapter on a different port around the Gulf, The Center of the World shows how the people of the Gulf adapted to larger changes in world history, creating a system of free trade, merchant rule, and commerce that continues to define the region today.RapidGatorhttps://rg.to/file/70d72e74cafa2c00969cea86b83a926a/ntp9u.7z.htmlTakeFilehttps://takefile.link/k729nx06ixr1/ntp9u.7z.htmlFileaxahttps://fileaxa.com/h2p9h4hi68bc/ntp9u.7zFikperhttps://fikper.com/i13NpQ5Jit/ntp9u.7z.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
