well as detailed information about the infrastructure which was
necessary to establish those trade networks. Included are a variety

images of the important trade routes and the corresponding historic
oases. To give a deeper understanding of how those trading networks
work, aspects such as culturally influenced concepts of spatial
orientation are discussed. The book aims to be a useful reference
for the caravan trade in the Sahara, that can be recommended both
to students and to specialists and researchers in the field of
