- Summary:
- For almost 20 years, author and photographer Baaijens and her camels have been crisscrossing the deserts of Egypt and Sudan on a continuing journey of discovery. In this beautifully produced book, she shares her passion for the desert (and for camels) as well as a huge selection of her own color photographs. She also provides short profiles of seven scientists and explorers in whose footsteps she is following. In part a book about travel, Desert Songs is also about one woman's discovery of herself and her capabilities. This book should have wide appeal.
