It provides an extensive analysis of the traditional information available, based on local almanacs, Arabic texts and poetry by Gulf individuals, ethnographic interviews, and online forums. A major feature of the book is tracing the history of terms and concepts in the local seasonal knowledge of the Gulf, including an important genre about weather stars, stemming back to the ninth century CE. Also covered are pearl diving, fishing, seafaring, and pastoral activities. This book will be of interest to scholars who study the entire Arab region, since much of the lore was shared and continues through the present. It will also be of value to scholars who work on the Indian Ocean and Red Sea Trade Network, as well as the history of folk astronomy in the Arab World. Daniel Martin Varisco is an anthropologist and historian with research experience in Yemen, Egypt and the Arab Gulf. He has written about Arabic folk astronomy and astrology, traditional agriculture and the history of the Arab almanac. He is currently President of the American Institute for Yemeni Studies. 410 0$aPalgrave Series in Indian Ocean World Studies,$x2730-9711 606 $aMiddle East$xHistory 606 $aTechnology 606 $aHistory 606 $aCivilization$xHistory 606 $aHistory of the Middle East 606 $aHistory of Technology 606 $aCultural History 615 0$aMiddle East$xHistory. 615 0$aTechnology. 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aCivilization$xHistory. 615 14$aHistory of the Middle East. 615 24$aHistory of Technology. 615 24$aCultural History. 676 $a039.927020916535 676 $a039.927020916535 700 $aVarisco$b Daniel Martin$01086915 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910568255303321 996 $aSeasonal Knowledge and the Almanac Tradition in the Arab Gulf$92852939 997 $aUNINA
