All lived from their own resources; 'wealth' was material self-sufficiency; 'riches' the richness of social relationships. Political arenas were decentralised and underpinned by common cultural and moral values.Published sources give a wider context to these ideas and events which show the great complexity and differing perspectives of 'life before oil' in the Gulf. 410 0$aStudien zur Geschichte und Kultur des islamischen Orients 606 $aHuman geography$zUnited Arab Emirates$zRa?s al-Khaymah (Emirate) 606 $aEthnology$zUnited Arab Emirates$zRa?s al-Khaymah (Emirate) 606 $aPetroleum industry and trade$zUnited Arab Emirates$zRa?s al-Khaymah (Emirate) 607 $aRa?s al-Khaymah (United Arab Emirates : Emirate)$xSocial life and customs 607 $aRa?s al-Khaymah (United Arab Emirates : Emirate)$xSocial conditions$y20th century 607 $aRa?s al-Khaymah (United Arab Emirates : Emirate)$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHuman geography 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aPetroleum industry and trade 676 $a953.57 700 $aLancaster$b William$f1938-$01027684 701 $aLancaster$b Fidelity$01027685 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465051203321 996 $aHonour is in contentment$92443282 997 $aUNINA
