Synopsis
The deserts of the Middle East cover an area almost as large as Western Europe and include some of the most inhospitable places on Earth. But the customs of the Bedu, who have for centuries herded their livestock back and forth across this wilderness, developed in response to these grim conditions. Today, however, their nomadic culture is under threat with the encroachment of industrialisation and mineral exploitation onto their unfettered lands, and new generations are seeking employment rather than living off herds. Bedouin is a unique and beautiful portrait of the Arab nomad's life, rich in colour and culture. It depicts everything from their everyday chores of cooking and collecting water to the more exotic tasks of weaving, moving camp and celebrating feasts., This photographic record of an ancient culture represents years of living and travelling in the Middle East. The author captures the nomadic lifestyle, the traditions, the personalities, the dress, and the markets in memorable detail.

    Wow! I'm incredibly impressed with this seller! Both books came in the condition described, packed safely in bubble wrap and a cardboard book box, *and* they look amazing! FANTASTIC seller, highly recommend!! I reached out for a bundle deal, the seller delivered quickly and kindly responded, *and* offered a partial refund on the shipping because it was different from what was quoted (though to be fair the seller made it clear that the shipping cost was an estimate). I will be following!
