Comment ces changements ont-ils affecté l’histoire humaine ? Comment notre espèce s’est-elle adaptée à un environnement profondément modifié par les glaciations ou les périodes de réchauffement ? Pour répondre à ces interrogations, Peter Frankopan s’est engagé dans une entreprise majeure et inédite.

Following the Silk Roads eastwards, from Europe through to China, by way of Russia and the Middle East, The New Silk Roads provides a timely reminder that we live in a world that is profoundly interconnected.

De acordo com a historiografia ocidental, a Primeira Cruzada teria sido uma expedição militar e religiosa incitada pelo papa Urbano II com o intuito de liberar Jerusalém da crescente ameaça do Islã.
