Publisher's Synopsis
The staggering breadth and diversity of Yemen's landscapes and peoples is not something easily conveyed. Here, in this remarkable celebration of his homeland, Mahmoud Al-Shaibani presents a breathtaking panorama that sweeps in the mountains and valleys, the plains and seas, and the myriad of different communities that live across this ancient land. We are fortunate to be able to have this window into this rare corner of Arabia - a land of stark geographical contrasts inhabited by a people whose way of life has often scarcely changed since the dawn of settled civilisation.
