Dubai
by Christopher Davidson
A scholarly book that takes the reader from Dubai’s origins as a small fishing and pearling community on the cusp of the Arabian deserts to a post-boom situation. He asks how, despite the rush of innovative architecture and big-name corporations, it evolves out of financial crisis to create a society that fits the future.
