{"product_id":"the-worlds-of-the-indian-philippe-beaujard-9781108424653","title":"The Worlds of the Indian Ocean: A Global History","description":"Europe's place in history is re-assessed in this first comprehensive history of the ancient world, centering on the Indian Ocean and its role in pre-modern globalization. Philippe Beaujard presents an ambitious and comprehensive global history of the Indian Ocean world, from the earliest state formations to 1500 CE. Supported by a wealth of empirical data, full color maps, plates, and figures, he shows how Asia and Africa dominated the economic and cultural landscape and the flow of ideas in the pre-modern world. This led to a trans-regional division of labor and an Afro-Eurasian world economy. Beaujard questions the origins of capitalism and hints at how this world-system may evolve in the future. The result is a reorienting of world history, taking the Indian Ocean, rather than Europe, as the point of departure. Volume II provides in-depth coverage of the period from the seventh century CE to the fifteenth century CE.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philippe Beaujard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108424651\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108424653\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/24\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 952\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.10h x 8.70w x 1.80d","brand":"Philippe Beaujard","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44120830345471,"sku":"9781108424653","price":129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6f8345a5-57cc-4cd5-b447-7c54cfb10103.jpg?v=1687416519","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-worlds-of-the-indian-philippe-beaujard-9781108424653","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
