About This Item
Thames and Hudson, London 1965 Hardcover with dust jacket Ours is an ex-library copy in transparent protective covering and usual stamps, stickers and barcode. GOOD book in GOOD price-clipped dust jacket The story of nomadism is here traced from its probable origins late in the fourth millennium BC to the end of the first age of the mounted nomads marked by the advance of the Huns in the fifth century AD. The northern Steppes, extending from Hungary to Manchuria, are well suited to agriculture (like the prairies in North America), but other parts in Central Asia are now desert (similar to the Sahara); both areas favour the nomad mode of life, and have left their mark on history.
