Reviews for Artistic Traditions of Inner Eurasian Cultures: Prehistoric, Ancient, and Medieval Golden Ages

This is a critical work that extends twenty-first century scholarship of Central Asia broadly, and also integrates for the first time a macro-analysis of historical archaeology, art history, and an appreciation of the cultural pluralism, accomplishments, and significance of Inner Eurasian civilizations, too long ignored. --G. G. Weix, University of Montana
