Abstract	"There is far more to the history of the Gulf than oil, airports and skyscrapers. For over 4000 years, the Gulf has been a global crossroads, at the center of world history while managing to avoid control by the world's greatest empires in Arabia, Persia and Babylon. Taking advantage of the geography of mountains, deserts, marshes and the monsoon, the people of the Gulf still benefited from the wealth gained from connecting empires. Focusing each chapter on different ports around the Gulf, this sweeping history shows how the people of the Gulf adapted to larger changes in world history, creating a system of free trade, merchant rule, and commerce that continues to benefit the Gulf region today"-- Provided by publisher.
