SUMMARY:Replay / Anthony Sattin - English
DESCRIPTION:Nomads\, The Wanderes Who Shaped Our World\n\nFellow of the Roy
 al Geographical Society\, Anthony Sattin is an author\, journalist and bro
 adcaster\, as well as contributing editor to Condé Nast Traveller and edi
 torial advisor on Geographical Magazine. He lives between London and the M
 iddle East. His highly acclaimed books of history and travel include Young
  Lawrence\, A Winter on the Nile\, The Pharaoh's Shadow\, The Gates of Afr
 ica and Lifting the Veil. His latest book\, Nomads\, The Wanderers Who Sha
 ped Our World (Les Nomades\, Editions Noir sur Blanc\, 2024) is a work of 
 history that looks at the shifting relations between nomadic and settled p
 eople over the past 12\,000 years\, since the time when we all lived on th
 e move. Often overlooked in history\, the story of the umbilical connectio
 ns between these two very different ways of living presents a radical new 
 view of human civilization. From the Neolithic revolution to the twenty-fi
 rst century via the rise and fall of the Roman Empire\, the great nomadic 
 empires of the Arabs and Mongols\, the Mughals and the development of the 
 Silk Road\, nomads have been a perpetual counterbalance to the empires cre
 ated by the power of human cities. Exploring the evolutionary biology and 
 psychology of restlessness that makes us human\, Anthony Sattin’s sweepi
 ng history charts the power of nomadism from before the Bible to its decli
 ne in the present day. Connecting us to mythology and the records of antiq
 uity\, Nomads is the history of civilization as told through its outsiders
 .
