5.0 out of 5 stars
a must read for any traveler or scholar, November 30, 2008
This review is from: Yemen: Land and People (Paperback)
As a Middle East and North Africa geographer and researcher, this is a long-awaited book on an interesting and important country. Informative, interesting and exciting, Sarah Searight's descriptions and narratives come alive. This could be a heavy and technical tome, however it is enjoyable to read and filled with insight, observations, and descriptions rarely found in such a book. Moreover, the photographs by Jane Taylor are stunning and simply gorgeous. Not just pretty pictures, these amazing images not only support the text, but create moods and feelings that are so very Yemeni. This book should be a 'must have' for any serious Middle East, North Africa and/or West Asia library and whether you are a scholar or armchair traveler, you will enjoy and learn from this delightful book!
