A Treasure of a Book, 13 Nov 2001
By Connie Crosby - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mysteries of the Desert: A View of Saudi Arabia (Hardcover)
This book is a gift to read - which may be why I keep ordering additional copies to give as gifts to my friends. The photographs, taken over a twenty-five year journey into the Aranbian desert are combined with exquisite poetry selections that beautifully articulate the visual images. Through the book I've journeyed to a part of the world I'd never seen. Included are pictures of Bedouin men and women, camels, and the most sensuous desert imaginable. A rare book that's a real tour de force.

An Unlikely Tool to Dispel Racism, 20 Sep 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mysteries of the Desert: A View of Saudi Arabia (Hardcover)
I stumbled upon this book and could not believe how timely it is. Not only does this lovely photographic book feature beautiful images of sand dunes and people in far away places, accompanied by imaginative poetry, but it shows the side of Arabia that President George Bush and New York City Mayor Rudolph Guiliani, among others, are asking us to remember in light of the difficult times. We are lucky to have at our fingertips, in a moment of need, an artistic expression of this part of the world to remind us of beauty and not fear.
I intend to share this book with as many people as I can, not only because of the stunning photography and magical poetry, but because I have found solace in its pages.
I proudly display it in my library.
Listmania!
