ISBN: 9780297843047.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the spring of 2001, photographer Basil Pao accompanied actor (and former Monty Python member) Michael Palin and a BBC film crew into the heart of the worlds largest desert--the Sahara. The result of that journey is these remarkable pictures of landscapes and people, taken on a route that covered nine countries and an astonishing variety of cultures. Even when in some of the most hostile conditions known to man, Pao succeeds in capturing the awe-inspiring beauty of the region. Here is Tangier, known for its incredible light; scenic old towns, such as Chefchouen in the Jabala Mountains, barely changed since the 15th century; men, working in tanneries, their bodies balanced over gigantic holes filled with dye; an oil refinery aflame; the River Niger bathed in a golden glow; the beautiful faces of pastoral nomads; the magnificent glory of endless sand dunes; and other unforgettable pictures.Plus: behind the scene photos of Michael Palin and the film crew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Weidenfeld \u0026 Nicolson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45115388166197,"sku":"ByrdShop_0297843044","price":28.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780297843047_9aaa1d7a-5d17-43ac-8f7f-39e762dd77cf.jpg?v=1781250538","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/inside-sahara-9780297843047","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
