'The detailed narrative begins in 1500 at the beginning of a new Islamic era. The 16th and 17th centuries were notable for the growth and cultural flowering of the three great empire of the Islamic heartlands - the Safavid in Persia, the Mughal in India, and the Ottoman in Turkey and the Near East. But at the same time Islam continued to expand further into southeast Asia, into Africa, into Central Asia and into Europe.'
