Synopsis:

This volume of stunning photography discloses the spirituality and ethos of a people and vast geography of earth in a way that cannot be communicated through an academic treatise or lecture. The photos of this book include the nooks and horizons of Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, the Silk Route, and China-the people, landscapes, and architecture of an expansive and often misunderstood region.

From the Back Cover: Peter Sanders began his career in the 1960s as one of London's leading photographers of rock musicians. His pictures of Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, The Rolling Stones, The Who and many others performing are classics of the genre. In the late 1960s Sanders embarked on a spiritual journey that would take him to India and North Africa and then, in 1971, to the Holy City of Makkah where he photographed the Hajj, at a time when few professional photographers had access to Islam's holiest Sanctuary. Since then he has several times been granted special access to photograph the protected cities of Makkah and Madinah. His empathy with both spiritual masters and ordinary people has opened many doors, allowing him to be the first person to photograph many great Muslim scholars. Having travelled far and wide, Peter Sanders has built up an archive of photographs that are in great demand from publishers and media houses around the world. In The Shade Of The Tree represents a small selection from this rich collection of spiritual images.
