What reading level is The Pulse of Asia, a Journey in Central Asia Illustrating the Geographical Basis of History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The state of preservation of the lower strands, and of some of the upper ones, such as that six hundred feet above the sea at Baku, shows that they are of very recent origin, though no one has yet succeeded in correlating them with any events of human history. Their weak development shows that, as a rule, the sea did not stand at any one level for a long time. Other features, as Professor Davis has pointed out, suggest that the strands were formed by a lake which alternately rose and fell, as w...ould happen during alternate fluvial and inter-fluvial epochs. At Jebel 838 THE PULSE OF ASIA on the Central Asiatic railroad, a hundred miles east of the terminus at Krasnovodsk on the Caspian Sea, we saw two particularly interesting strands at an elevation of two hun- dred and fifty and one hundred and fifty feet above the Cas- pian. The lower occupies the position where, according to the conclusion reached above, the shores of the Scythian gulf stood in the days of Herodotus and his successors.
