Description
Dr. Ali Al-Banna said of his book: “I tried to rely as much as possible on the latest published works on the geography of climate, soil and vegetation, and I also benefited from the research conducted by UNESCO in the fields of soil and vegetation in dry areas. I have provided the book with a set of maps, illustrations, diagrams, graphs and photos, and I have also attached a list of climatic, biological and botanical terms used in the book, perhaps to benefit the Arab reader and help him to read foreign references, or perhaps there is something new in it that will help in the Arabization and standardization of geographical terms in the Arab world.”.
