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.
Peter presents images of the Australian landscape more beautiful than you've seen before. From the lush depths of our rainforests to the startling beauty of our deserts, the panoscapes in this book capture the essence of the Australian spirit magnificently.
