Camel by Robert Irwin

Camel by Robert Irwin

A distinct symbol of the desert and the Middle East, the camel was once unkindly described as half snake, half folding bedstead. But in the eyes of many the camel is a creature of great beauty. This book explores why the camel has fascinated so many cultures, including those in places where camels are not indigenous.

A bold and fascinating series The Independent This series.. calls itself "a new kind of animal history". It is, splendidly, even brilliantly, so. I have nothing but praise for it The Spectator
