Although one of the world's smallest countries, Qatar punches well
above its weight in terms of art and culture. It is home to
innovative and striking pieces of public art as well as art-filled
museums designed by world-famous architects. This is all part of a
far-reaching plan to focus on becoming a culture-based, rather than
carbon-based, economy - a plan which Sheikha Mayassa has
spearheaded on every level. It is this which makes The Power of
Culture so informative and readable. Sheikha Mayassa's personality
shines through every page, whether discussing the delights to be
found in museums and galleries, or commenting on her favourite
place to see wild life and where to find the best abayas. Part
easy-to-read guide and part memoir, The Power of Culture offers a
completely original insight into the Qatar of today, enhanced with
in-depth interviews by Sheikha Mayassa with some of the leading
architects and artists who have contributed to its success. Text in
English, Arabic, Mandarin, Hindi and Spanish.
