Paperback. Condition: Gut. Auflage: Illustrated. 135 p. In good condition. - Preface -- Shibam, with its 500 multi-storey houses nestled against each other in the middle of the valley of Wadi Hadramawt, is a city in the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen whose originality and beauty have won over everyone who has had the good fortune to visit it. Travellers at the end of the last century already marvelled at the quality and refinement of the earthen architecture for which Shibam has sometimes been nicknamed 'the Manhattan of the desert'. -- Destroyed several times throughout the centuries by devastating floods and rebuilt each time on the same lines, Shibam was for a long time prosperous and influential on account of its location on the spice and incense route. After a period of decline, Shibam is now thriving again, as a result of the government's efforts to modernize agriculture in order to make up for the revenue lost with the almost total disappearance of the spice and incense trade. -- The economic boom is being accompanied by an increased interest in the preservation and development of the cultural heritage of Wadi Hadramawt. The city of Shibam and sites of cultural and natural value in the valley of Wadi Hadramawt have been inscribed on the World Heritage List, and the Government of Democratic Yemen, with the help of Unesco, has prepared an international campaign to safeguard them. -- Launched in Shibam on 22 December 1984 by the Director- General of Unesco, this campaign is aimed not only at preserving the aesthetic appearance of the monuments but also at stimulating goodwill, both nationally and internationally, for the complex task of rehabilitation. -- Professor R. B. Lewcock, one of Unesco's foremost authorities on the southern Arab peninsula, has prepared this publication to inform readers of the richness and significance of Shibam and Wadi Hadramawt. It is hoped that it will satisfy the expectations of those wishing to join international efforts to safeguard a cultural heritage that is now the responsibility of men and women throughout the world. -- A special account has been opened at Unesco Headquarters for financial contributions to the campaign. Readers who wish to offer their support should contact the Division of Cultural Heritage, Unesco, 7 place de Fontenoy, 75700 Paris, France.
