This book takes a close look at the people and places of this diverse and fascinating region, from the world's first civilisations built around its rivers to the countries that play a central role in today's world. Find out where different religions were born and how they shaped nations and cultures. Discover ancient trading routes, centuries-old monuments and modern capitals. Learn about cooperation and conflict, oil and resources, today's troubles and hopes for the future. Stunning photographs and thought-provoking digital artwork captures the essence of the Middle East, while compelling text guides the reader through a wealth of information. Each chapter encourages the reader to discover more through links to websites, books and places to visit, and also suggests possible career opportunities.
