The author has been keen to explain the excavations Many of the book's pictures reveal about the people who lived and worked in the heart of the vast desert, their way of life, their homes, their oases, their means of travel such as camels and ships, their customs and traditions, their livelihoods from fishing and pearl diving, and their residence in their oases in the shade of palms.
