John Nowell has created a portrait of the United Arab Emirates and its people, illustrated with photographs taken to represent the course of a single day. Aerial photography always provides stunning images and this book is a fine example of the art. A hot-air balloon flight over the desert leads into scenes of activity in the cities, villages and rural areas of the emirates, drawing generously on the unusual perspective afforded by the `eye in the sky'.
For non-experts, the book describes 550 plants in detail and another 205 species in brief. Contains over 1500 color photographs, a number of drawings and 550 maps showing plant distributions with the U.A.E. The scientific index lists 755 local species in 81 families.
