Ralph Bagnold was among a group of eccentric British explorers who
in the 1930's explored the deserts of North Africa using Model T
Fords. This book describes his journeys into the region known as
the Western Desert of Egypt or the Libyan Sahara. He is a central
character in the group of explorers who would be later
fictionalized in Michael Ondaatje's The English Patient. Libyan
Sands is an exploration of the Egyptian western desert and the
Libyan Sahara on the eve of the Second World War.
This classic work was used by NASA in studying sand dunes on Mars
and is appropriate for undergraduate and graduate students. The
first book to deal exclusively with the behavior of blown sand and
related land forms, its accessible style makes it an enduring
reference. 84 figures. 16 halftones.
