1. 1. Culture And Conquest In Mongol Eurasia

   

   Explores how the Mongol Empire’s conquests forged vast transcontinental networks that accelerated the movement of people, goods, and ideas, and explains the deliberate mechanisms—artisanal relocation, tribute, patronage, and administrative integration—used to appropriate and disseminate resources and knowledge. It portrays imperial elites as cultural brokers who selectively adopted and recombined traditions while maintaining steppe identities, reshaping art, science, cuisine, medicine, and governance across Eurasia. The result is a portrait of conquest intertwined with cosmopolitan exchange during the Pax Mongolica.

2. 2. The Royal Hunt In Eurasian History

   

   A comparative history of elite hunting across Eurasia from antiquity to the early modern era, showing how the chase served as statecraft, military training, ritual spectacle, and economic enterprise. Surveying steppe traditions alongside Chinese, Persian, and Islamic courts, it explores hunting parks, mass drives, falconry, and the tribute, logistics, and specialized crafts that sustained them. The study emphasizes the hunt as a theater of sovereignty, a tool for managing landscapes and populations, and a conduit for transregional exchange of technologies, animals, and ideas, with particular dynamism during the era of Mongol rule.
