This book, written by Paul J. Nance, is one of the best reference books I have ever seen. I recently purchased the book and I find its contents and full color pictures very exciting. Whether you plan on traveling to the Middle East, or if you just want to learn about the culture, this is the book to read.

This book has several first rate accounts of Paul J. Nance's thirty two years in the Middle East. He worked for Aramco Oil Company in Saudi Arabia during this time and he acquired quite a bit of knowledge. Since his return to America he has started a collection of Middle Eastern artifacts and art. The book details many of the artifacts in his Museum, and is extremely helpful in learning about Middle Eastern culture.

This book can change the way you look at the Islamic religion. Before I looked at the book and visited the Museum of Mr. Nance I knew very little about the Arabian Penninsula.
