A few comments on the early Muslim world and its connections with other societies and civilizations
Razib from Gene Expression has an interesting article up on the early Muslim world . Two comments he makes in the article strike me as of great interest. Firstly, he points out that other major world civilizations often made contract to each other via the Muslim world. Examples of this are how the Chinese and Europeans met each other via trade routes that criss-crossed areas that Muslim rulers conquered. China and Europe had not had much direct contact. The distances from eastern China the mo

Located near the Chinese border with Tajikistan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot known about the ruined fortress… nevertheless, I can assure that it’s one hell of an impressive site.

Joshua Kucera has another dispatch from Xinjiang, this time where he interviews Michael Manning, of Other End of China fame. He??s discussing, naturally, the transition between the Han and Uighur sections of Korla, where Manning lives. Fully realizing the two situations are not at all analogous, I can??t help feeling an eerie parallel between how the Chinese government has internally colonized its seized territories, from Tibet to Inner Mongolia to Xinjiang, and how much it resembles the Soviets

These are several different types of travel books. Some writers emphasize the humorous and/or dangerous aspects of their journey

Asian growth depends on energy resources
Among Asian countries making economic advancements, China and India are attracting global attention with their remarkable growth. China, with a population of 1.3 billion, is the world’s largest test case of a "socialist market economy," while India, with 1.1 billion people, is the most populous "democracy." It would be no exaggeration to say that China and India are a powerful driving force of global economic development. However, as Asian economic development as a whole makes progress, the
