Origins of Arabia
|
|
The Arabian peninsula is entirely without continuously flowing water and contains the largest sand desert in the world. Origins of Arabia follows the dramatic story of the development of Arabia from the shaping of the continents to its earliest human inhabitants. Andrew Thomson, an expert in desert geology, uses clear explanations and stimulating images to trace these events across a billion years of geology and evolution. Origins of Arabia will appeal to all with an interest in the Middle East and its geological history. |

| Andrew Thompson - Author of Origins of Arabia. Over the course of the last thirty years he has become familiar with all corners of the Arabian Peninsula. For fifteen of those years he lived in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Dubai; for the other fifteen he was a regular visitor, travelling both for business and pleasure. A banker by profession, he devoted his leisure to extending his wide knowledge of Arabian natural history, geography, and geology.
