Captured in a stunning series of photographs are Syria's monuments and works of art, archaeological treasures, vibrant new cities, and contrasting deserts.

<p>One of a series of four titles by this internationally acclaimed photographer. We feel that these are among the most beautiful travel books we have seen. In addition to his gifts as a photographer Chenevire has advanced university degrees in ancient and modern languages. This training has allowed him to enter into the spirit of different cultures and adds a depth of understanding to his written commentaries that accompany the photographs. </p>
<p>The Pacific is incomprehensibly vast and forever mysterious. Unknown to the Western world until the sixteenth century, it conjures up an infinite variety of images, visions and myths. The author-photographer sets out to understand its landscapes and diverse cultures. Eschewing stale moral, political and economic analyses he chooses to focus instead on the beauty and poetry of sites and people. Legends and culture emerge set against this unique background of land and sea. Those fortunate ones who dwell in a place where the sea is so powerful, the sky so blue and nature so unfettered cannot help but be different from other peoples. This book invites you to meet them and discover their endlessly fascinating world.</p>
