This inspiring book with its sumptuous embellishments is an immersive voyage through the rugged Caucasus to the Caspian Sea, including miniature mud volcanoes, a wealth of subtropical nature preserves, orchards, and tea plantations. It provides a window into Azerbaijan s two-thousand-year tradition of Caucasian rugs; light-as-air silk kelaghayi (scarves); intricate embroideries; musical instruments, some inlaid with mother-of-pearl; and delicately incised copperware, along with its great legacy of poetry and magisterial illuminated manuscripts. Following a sweeping view of Azerbaijan s land and history, this tome creatively unfolds in four chapters: Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire, each element giving shape to its indelible identity. For lovers of design and global culture, Azerbaijan offers a captivating window into one of the Silk Roads richest civilizations.
