Uzbekistan : The Golden Road to Samarkand by Bradley Mayhew
From the blue-tiled splendor of Tamerlane's Samarkand to the holy city of Bukhara, which boasts a mosque for each day of the year, and beyond to the desert-girdled khanate of Khiva, Uzbekistan lays claim to a breathtaking architectural legacy. Bound by sand and snow, fed by meltwater from the Roof of the World, these fertile oases attracted the greatest travelers and conquerors in history along the fragile threads of the Silk Road. This groundbreaking guide, continually revised and updated, focuses on the wealth of sites and colorful legends at the heart of Central Asia, plus the best of the rest--excursions covering the major nearby attractions of neighboring republics Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan.
"..The best guidebook to bring is the Uzbekistan volume in the Odyssey series, written by Calum Macleod and Bradley Mayhew. It is one of those rare travel guides that is a joy to read whether or not you are planning a trip..." New York Times "...An exemplary guidebook and the only one devoted specifically to Uzbekistan..." The Observer (UK)
