Arabia by Michael Mckinnon
The Arabian peninsula is a vast and diverse land full of surprises. The traditional Western view, reinforced by literature and films, is of a forbidding monotonous region, dominated by deserts. This book aims to dispel the myth by portraying a subcontinent where soaring juniper-clad mountains, inhabited by leopard, baboon, unique birdlife and rare gazelle contrast with beautiful sand-deserts, home of adapted wildlife like Ruppell's fox and rheem gazelle. It examines the natural history of the peninsula and delves into the marine worlds around its shores.| SKU | Unavailable |
