The Horse, the Wheel, and Language: How Bronze-Age Riders from the Eurasian Steppes Shaped the Modern World by David W. Anthony


This book is not for the faint of heart. With nearly 500 pages of data about the cultures of the steppes, this isn't the easiest thing to read, but is very insightful. The book describes the spread of the Indo-European language family and the technologies and advancements that allowed the language to spread the way it did. The book was definitely written for Anthony's peers, and not regular Joe's but if you want to truly understand everything about the Indo-European language, people and technology this is the book to read.
