Saudi Arabia

This highly original work is the very first comprehensive overview of Saudi Arabia's environment; a unique and authoritative text on geological and environmental aspects of Saudi Arabia; a country that is very poorly known to the outside world and also a fascinating country with a long tradition of environmental awareness and sensitivity, pitted against some of the harshest environments on earth. The book brings together a wide range of published and unpublished material which will be of interest to environmental scientists, geologists, geographers, biologists and others. There is a comprehensive bibliography, it is generously illustrated with original half tone plates and diagrams. The book will be indispensable for university courses dealing with the Middle East and arid zone environments as well as various regional/environmental courses. It is targeted at the upper level undergraduate audience and above, professionals, university libraries, environmental organisations and so on.Vincent, Peter is the author of 'Saudi Arabia', published 2007 under ISBN 9780415413879 and ISBN 0415413877.
