Promotional booklet announcing the publication of an encyclopedia series dedicated to the mid-20th century economic boom experienced in the Gulf countries, especially the oil-rich Trucial coast, soon to become the United Arab Emirates. The overarching aim of the publishers was to promote mutual understanding across the Arab world by making contemporary experience in Muslim nations widely available to the reading public. The Gulf renaissance, spurred by the discovery of vast oil reserves and one of the most dramatic cultural moments of the 20th century, was a natural inclusion.

In excellent condition.
