Anthony Barbieri (History) has published a new book, Parallel Journeys: Eurasian History Through Travelers’ Eyes (400 BCE–1936 CE) (Cambria Press, 2026). Parallel Journeys offers a sweeping comparative history of Eurasia through 2,400 years of travel writing. Featuring over two dozen firsthand accounts—from ambassadors, monks, merchants, missionaries, and journalists—it pairs iconic figures such as Marco Polo, Zhao Rugua, Matteo Ricci, and Guo Songtao to reveal how cross-cultural encounters shaped identity, history, and global understanding. With newly translated Chinese texts, critical introductions, and thematic pairings, this anthology is essential for readers and instructors of global history, Asian studies, and world literature.
