A Thousand and One Fossils: Discoveries in the Desert at Al Gharbia, United Arab Emirates
English
By (author): Andrew Hill Faysal Bibi Mark Beech
This lavish volume celebrates the astonishing wealth of fossils uncovered in recent decades in Abu Dhabis desert. These prehistoric findings, around seven million years in age, record a period when the region was lush, green, and teeming with diverse mammals, all now extinct. With more than one hundred full-color photographs, including reconstructions of extinct animals, this book is both a visual delight and a unique glimpse into Arabias ancient past. All text in the book is presented in both English and Arabic.
