Recensione:
'In this important volume examing frontiers across Eurasia in the medieval and early modern age, edited by Daniel Power and Naomi Standen, the authors successfully undermine received wisdom and highlight remarkably similar phenomena in disparate places. Comparative frontier studies have come of age.' - Peter C. Perdue, The International History Review
