Synopsis
A land of enormous proportions, countless secrets, and incredible history, Central Asia--the heart of the great Mongol empire of Tamerlane, site of the legendary Silk Route and scene of Stalins cruelest deportations--is a remote and fascinating region. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union and the emergence of newly independent republics, Central Asia--containing the magical cities of Bukhara and Samarkand, and terrain as diverse as the Kazakh steppes, the Karakum desert, and the Pamir mountains--has been in a constant state of transition. The Lost Heart of Asia takes readers into the very heart of this little visited, yet increasingly important region, delivering a rare and moving portrayal of a world in the midst of change., A land of enormous proportions, countless secrets, and incredible history, Central Asia--the heart of the great Mongol empire of Tamerlane, site of the legendary Silk Route and scene of Stalin's cruelest deportations--is a remote and fascinating region.

    First time purchase from this seller, and I'd buy from them again. Book was nicely packaged to keep it secure during travel. As a lifelong bibliophile, I appreciate sellers who care about the books they send out. Condition was as described, and I believe that the photo in the listing was the same as the book I received: no stock photo used. Item shipped the same day as purchase, and arrived in 6 days, including a Sunday and a holiday.

    I was quite surprised with how well packaged my item was! It was sealed tightly in it's own plastic bag on top of the plentiful amount of bubble wrap included. It was at a fair price and the cost of shipping was about right for the item. It was in mint condition just as described. The only setback was the shipping being pushed back due to poor weather but this neither the fault of the seller or the shipping company. Otherwise, everything was great and I'm happy with the product!
