Book Description

Starr (Johns Hopkins, Central Asia-Caucasus Institute) undertakes a daunting task--the intellectual history of Central Asia through the medieval period. Happily, he succeeds. Starr begins by asking why Central Asia became a black hole in scientific progress in the early modern period. It is a valid question, as prior to this point the region was a beacon of intellectual activity.
