The Horse, the Wheel, and Language: How Bronze-Age Riders from the Eurasian Steppes Shaped the Modern World

byDavid W. Anthony

The Horse, the Wheel, and Language is David W. Anthony's historical account of how Bronze-Age Riders from the Eurasian Steppes Shaped the Modern World. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of history and language arts & disciplines. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. The book ultimately clarifies what made these developments possible, who experienced their effects, and why the story remains significant.
