Beneath the Red Sea lie gardens of coral, and along its shore stretch gardens of desert. Crossland writes of the Sudan coast, its reefs and marine life, and the sailors and daily life he found there. Part natural history, part travel among warm and distant waters. Dive into one of the sea's most vivid worlds.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
