Déserts D’Asie (Book) by Etienne Dehau. hardcover, New in blister. in French.

The deserts of Asia form a wide arid strip which crosses Central Asia between the Siberian forests and the tropical regions of the south of the continent. By their geographical position, they have completely original climatic characteristics. Populated by the Mongolian nomads of Gobi, the Uighurs of the oases of Taklamakan in the west of China and the Rajputs of the Thar in the northeast of India, these deserts were part of a rich and eventful history. The caravan routes allowed the development of commercial and cultural links between Asia and the West, which had important consequences for both parties.

Thanks to the Silk Road, paper, printing, porcelain and silk spread to the Western world, while China received wheat, cotton and the decisive influence of religions such as Buddhism, Manichaeism or Islam.
