Excerpt from The Pulse of Asia: A Journey in Central Asia Illustrating, the Geographic Basis of History This book is primarily the record of a journey of exploration in a remote and unique region - the heart of Asia. It is more than that, however, for scattered through the narrative there runs a description of the physical features of the great central basin of Asia and a discussion of their effect upon the life and habits of two contrasted types of people. One type lives in the mountains around the basin. It is nomadic and obtains its support chiefly from sheep, horses, and cattle, and its life is full of movement and excitement. The other type lives in the oases of the basin itself amid vast desert wastes of sand, gravel, clay, and salt. Its life is hemmed in by the narrow circle of the irrigated land and of the reedy poplar brakes roundabout, and so it is monotonous, unstimulating, and yet to the traveler most fascinating. Shot through the narrative and the description of the land and people there is yet another phase of this book. It takes the form of an attempt to state clearly and impartially the evidence which ultimately led to what I have called the hypothesis of pulsatory climatic changes. Among the mountains as well as in the deserts there are abundant indications that at some time the climate was different from now, the country more densely populated, and the civilization higher.

"Mr. Hamid reaffirms his place as one of his generation's most inventive and gifted writers." –Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times "A globalized version of The Great Gatsby . . . [Hamid's] book is nearly that good." –Alan Cheuse, NPR "Marvelous and moving." –TIME Magazine From the internationally bestselling author of The Reluctant Fundamentalist and Exit West, the boldly imagined tale of a poor boy’s quest for wealth and love His first two novels established Mohsin Hamid as a radically inventive storyteller with his finger on the world’s pulse. How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia meets that reputation—and exceeds it. The astonishing and riveting tale of a man’s journey from impoverished rural boy to corporate tycoon, it steals its shape from the business self-help books devoured by ambitious youths all over “rising Asia.” It follows its nameless hero to the sprawling metropolis where he begins to amass an empire built on that most fluid, and increasingly scarce, of goods: water. Yet his heart remains set on something else, on the pretty girl whose star rises along with his, their paths crossing and recrossing, a lifelong affair sparked and snuffed and sparked again by the forces that careen their fates along. How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia is a striking slice of contemporary life at a time of crushing upheaval. Romantic without being sentimental, political without being didactic, and spiritual without being religious, it brings an unflinching gaze to the violence and hope it depicts. And it creates two unforgettable characters who find moments of transcendent intimacy in the midst of shattering change.

This book explores the various historical and cultural aspects of scientific, medical and technical exchanges that occurred between central Europe and Asia. A number of papers investigate the printing, gunpowder, guncasting, shipbuilding, metallurgical and drilling technologies while others deal with mapping techniques, the adoption of written calculation and mechanical clocks as well as the use of medical techniques such as pulse taking and electrotherapy. While human mobility played a significant role in the exchange of knowledge, translating European books into local languages helped the introduction of new knowledge in mathematical, physical and natural sciences from central Europe to its periphery and to the Middle East and Asian cultures. The book argues that the process of transmission of knowledge whether theoretical or practical was not a simple and one-way process from the donor to the receiver as it is often admitted, but a multi-dimensional and complex cultural process of selection and transformation where ancient scientific and local traditions and elements. The book explores the issue from a different geopolitical perspective, namely not focusing on a singular recipient and several points of distribution, namely the metropolitan centres of science, medicine, and technology, but on regions that are both recipients and distributors and provides new perspectives based on newly investigated material for historical studies on the cross scientific exchanges between different parts of the world.
