Abstract

The second edition of the standard work on the subject. Offers comprehensive coverage of general Middle Eastern geography, and how historical, political, and socioeconomic factors relate to the environment and applied geography of the region. Early chapters cover systematic and regional geography, including geomorphology, climate, hydrology, population, land use, and industry, supported by uncluttered maps, clear line drawings, and high quality photographs. Later chapters comprise essays on topics significant to each country, placing the geographical facts in a broader perspective. ``The most current and comprehensive coverage of general Middle East geography....the work is also an outstanding reference and includes one of the best geographical bibliographies yet assembled on the Middle East.''
