Review Quotes:
'This important book is a mine of information for those wanting to know about the people, land and water of a much studied marginal tract in north-east Jordan...The level and texture of observation can only be the result of prolonged intimacy with the region and a sympathy with its peoples and their landscapes. Every reader will find some nugget. - Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies
