Why, for many centuries, was the wheel abandoned in the Middle
East in favor of the camel as a means of transport? This richly
illustrated study explains this anomaly. Drawing on archaeology,
art, technology, anthropology, linguistics, and camel husbandry,
Bulliet explores the implications for the region's economic and
social development during the Middle Ages and into modern
times.
