| 內容簡介： |
Sheltered between the cradle of civilization and the busiest
trade routes of the ancient world, the Arabian Peninsula is home to
millennia-old civilizations that have blossomed and thrived in some
of the world''s harshest conditions. For many Westerners, their
vision of the Arab world is skewed by contemporary political news,
but Arabia is a land with a rich tradition of enlightenment, a
vibrant society and a past and present that is historically
entwined with the cultural roots of the West. The February 2010
film Arabia 3D shines a new light on the origins of this culture
shrouded in mystery and the films companion book, Arabia: The
Golden Ages, introduces readers to the rich tapestry of Arabian
life: the hajj, where three million Muslims descend up on the holy
city of Mecca to reaffirm their faith in the largest single human
gathering on Earth; the depths of the Red Sea explored as part of
an underwater search for ancient shipwrecks and clues to the past;
and the everyday traditions of the region such as a festive henna
party for a new bride-to-be. Former diplomat Michael Hamilton
Morgan guides this journey and visual celebration that transforms
how Western audiences view what is both an exotic land and cultural
partner.
