Jordan: A Timeless Land

US Books > History > Asia > General

Jordan is a land of extraordinary contrasts and striking beauty; of rainbow-colored rocks, black basalt deserts and fantastical landscapes hewn out of time by geological rifts. Modern Jordan mirrors this confluence of cultures and peoples with Circassians, Caucasians, Arabians and Palestinians all melding in a rich multicultural brew. This is a lavishly illustrated book which provides an introduction to this Middle Eastern kingdom and its people, places and extraordinary landscape.
