This book has been some twenty years in the making - the personal passion of its author as he built his landscaping business headquartered in Dubai. Julian Lee's meticulous notes, based on extensive practical experience on the ground, were gathered, catalogued and studiously verified. The massive job of providing no fewer than eight images per plant was undertaken by a dedicated photographer, sometimes travelling extensively to locate the correct plant and variants. The whole was then painstakingly pieced together working closely with the editorial and design team, creating a remarkable work of reference that will prove invaluable for horticulturalists and amateur gardeners across the Middle East and beyond.

History & Criticism

When Qatar threw off the Ottoman yoke in 1915, Sheikh Abdullah bin Jassim Al-Thani sealed an understanding with Britain that was to evolve from a basic military alliance to a close trading partnership. T oday the alliance runs deep. Quite apart from the economic ties that relate to Qatar's energy reserves (more than 20% of Britain's gas requirements are supplied by Qatar) and aside from the substantial role played by British companies in helping Qatar to develop her infrastructure requirements, there are ties  in education, politics and culture that bind the two countries far more closely than might be immediately apparent. Presenting accounts from some twenty-five individuals who each had a role to play in that relationship, this celebration of the mutual links will distill a considerable pool of wisdom and experience into a readable and engaging narrative. Richly illustrated with portraits of the interviewees alongside archival photographs, Qatar & Britain, A Century Together, will be a valuable addition to the understanding of the two nations' shared history.
