1) I actually liked the way the book presented all three Muslim empires together in one chapter. Though they do, like it is in the book, each need their own subsections, presenting them I one chapter is the most logical thing to do. They are all major Muslim empires, and it wouldn't make sense to put them in separate chapters. Plus, compared to other chapters in the book, if each empire had its own chapters, these chapters would be comparably shorter. Grouping them all together makes it easier to draw inferences and make comparisons, skill which is important in history. I agree with the way the book presented the empires.
2) Although there was some violence during this period of global interaction, I think it was a good thing. It is necessary for societies to interact with outside neighbors. To remain completely isolated could remain to decline. Trade, communication, and interaction globally is always a good thing. Overall, it was positive, even though there was some conflict. After all, without global interaction, how would ideas spread?
