He has survived and memorably documented long treks down the Nile and across the Himalayas; here Levison Wood circumnavigates the Arabian Peninsula. Traveling through some of the harshest yet most historic environments on earth, Wood challenges our perceptions of this often misunderstood part of the world, recounting stories that Westerners seldom hear. Illustrated with 16 pages of color photos, Wood's remarkable travelogue—published as An Arabian Journey in the U.S.—takes us to places like ancient Petra, futuristic Dubai, and Jerusalem's ethereal Dome of the Rock.
