Requests:  0 Summary:  A journey along the greatest land route on earth: out of the heart of China into the mountains of Central Asia, across northern Afghanistan and the plains of Iran and into Kurdish Turkey, Colin Thubron covers some seven thousand miles in eight months. Making his way by local bus, truck, car, donkey cart and camel, he travels from the tomb of the Yellow Emperor to the ancient port of Antioch. The Silk Road is a huge network of arteries splitting and converging across the breadth of Asia. To travel it is to trace the passage not only of trade and armies but also of ideas, religions and inventions. But alongside this rich and astonishing past, this book is also about Asia today: a continent of upheaval. One of the trademarks of Thubron's travel writing is the beauty of his prose; another is his gift for talking to people and getting them to talk to him.--From publisher description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 915.8 Th pbk Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 915.8 Th   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 915.8 Thubron   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 915.8 Th   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 915.8 Th   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Nonfiction 915.8 Th   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 915.8 Th   Checked In Add Copy to MyList
