SUMMARY:Anthony Sattin - English
DESCRIPTION:Nomads\, The Wanderers Who Shaped Our World\n\nFellow of the Ro
 yal Geographical Society\, Anthony Sattin is an author\, journalist and br
 oadcaster\, as well as contributing editor to Condé Nast Traveller and ed

 Middle East. His highly acclaimed books of history and travel include Youn

 rica and Lifting the Veil. His latest book\, Nomads\, The Wanderers Who Sh
 aped Our World (Les Nomades\, Editions Noir sur Blanc\, 2024) is a work of
  history that looks at the shifting relations between nomadic and settled

  empires of the Arabs and Mongols\, the Mughals and the development of the
  Silk Road\, nomads have been a perpetual counterbalance to the empires cr

  psychology of restlessness that makes us human\, Anthony Sattin’s sweep
