| Book Description | Iraq's people, cities and countryside remain unknown to most outsiders. With this important book, revealing daily life behind the headlines, photographer and explorer Daniel Whitfield's travels across Iraq bring the country to the reader in stunning pictures and words. City scenes in the streets and markets, Mesopotamia's ancient archaeological inheritance unrivalled anywhere else in the world, and most of all, the people of Iraq at work, at prayer, and at play. From the ancient ziggarat of Ur to the markets of Baghdad, from the hanging gardens of Babylon to the trade entrepot of Basra, from the unique treasures of the Iraqi Museum to the backstreet hangouts - discover Iraq through this special book, which celebrates the grandeur, the history, and the humanity of the cradle of civilisation in the current era. For fans of travel, photography, politics, Arab and Middle East studies, history. |
| About the Author | Originally from New Zealand, Daniel has lived in the Middle East since 2006 and has travelled extensively in the region and around the world to over 130 countries. This travel has enabled him to discover and capture the world through his photography, encountering many different cultures and climates from the bustling street markets of Kabul to mushing across the snow-covered tundra in the Arctic. These cumulative experiences have helped him grow both as a photographer and as a human being, fueling ever-growing curiosity for discovery, thirst for the adventures that still await and developing an appreciation of the scale and beauty of the world we live in. |
