Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the author's travels through Mongolia, China, Japan, Siberia, and other parts of the world during the mid 19th century. The author's interest in geology, Central Asian history, and the comparative development of disparate cultures and societies becomes central to the book's narrative. Noted for its attention to the era's geopolitics, the book draws connections between the ancient, feudal, and emergent industrial societies that the author encountered. The book is considered a seminal travelogue of a period during which the world's major powers were vying to expand their reach, both in geographic terms and in the less tangible realm of cultural influence. This book offers a unique account of the ways in which cultural, ideological and technological differences profoundly shaped the development and interaction of human societies during a key chapter in global history. It is a must -read for anyone interested in these subjects.
