In this authoritative new book Dionisius A. Agius one of the foremost scholars of Islamic material culture offers a lucid and wide - ranging history of the iconic dhow from medieval to modern times. Traversing the Arabian and African coasts he shows that the dhow was central not just to commerce but to the vital transmission and exchange of ideas. Discussing trade and salt routes shoals and wind patterns spice harvest seasons and the deep and resonant connection between language memory and oral tradition this is the first book to place the dhow in its full and remarkable cultural contexts.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: The Life Of The Red Sea Dhow A Cultural History Of Seaborne Exploration In The Islamic World\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Agius Dionisius A.\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing Plc\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781848858060\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 384 Pages, 5 Maps\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 5\/2\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Maritime History","brand":"Agius Dionisius A.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49625889931569,"sku":"IN-G-9781848858060","price":104.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781848858060.jpg?v=1724942159","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781848858060-the-life-of-the-red-sea-dhow-a-cultural-history-of-seaborne-exploration-in-the-islamic-world","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
