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, <em>The Center of the World</em> shows us that contradictions that define our modern age have always been present.</p><p>For over four thousand years, the Gulfsometimes called the Persian Gulf, sometimes the Arabian Gulfhas been a global crossroads while managing to avoid control by the worlds 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, <em>The Center of the World</em> 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.</p>...7004799The Center of the World584614https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-center-of-the-world-9780520398566/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/6958627/image.jpg?v=638769586862000000InStockMXN99999DIEbook2024Inglés
