(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Neil Packer. In prose at once conversational and elegant, Frankopan tells the history of humanity through that of the silk roads, focusing on the religious, cultural, intellectual, and confrontational history of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Spanning from ancient times to the present, this ambitious volume (based on Frankopan's adult book) will satisfy history buffs and casual readers alike. Packer's gorgeous art ranges in style from classical to modern as the narrative progresses.
