This work presents a collection of articles concerning Central Asian history which commemorated the retirement of esteemed professor Yuri Bregel in 2000. Bregel was an integral member of the Central Eurasian Studies department at Indiana University, and alongside his remarkable scholarship on Central Asian history and historiography, he served as the director for the Research Institute for Inner Asian Studies from 1986-1997 and the director of the Inner Asian and Uralic National Resource Center from 1989-1997. The studies in this book cover a wide range of topics in Central Asian history, including historical linguistics, the Timurid and post-Timurid eras, and conceptual ideas such as nomadism and regionalism. In all, this collection of articles from expert scholars is a fine resource for any interested in the study of Central Asian history.
