Yemen: Land and People

Yemen: Land and People

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
A beautifully photographed excursion through this fascinating corner of Arabia.

From the Publisher
Yemen, “that opal land” of the Queen of Sheba, has inspired travelers for thousands of years. Historically, culturally, and scientifically, it lies at the crossroads of the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea, its landscape formed by the upheavals of the Rift Valley, refreshed by the monsoon rains of the Indian Ocean. It is a uniquely rugged yet verdant landscape that encouraged the growth of the ancient incense trade route. As a mountain people, Yemenis are fiercely individualistic, passionate devotees of their history, the beauty of their land, and the rich architectural heritage that grew out of this “glittering, wrinkled country of peaks and plains, towers and surprises.” Readers can explore this remarkable land in this enlightening, photo–laden volume. Sarah Searight is the author of The British in the Middle East and Steaming East; Jane Taylor’s previous books include Imperial Istanbul and Testament to the Bushmen.
