This desert region is also extraordinarily rich in historical and cultural heritage that is in itself another valuable resource, through exploitation by Libya's tourism industry. This volume draws attention to the link between the benefits that Libya draws from its Saharan resources (oil, gas, water, minerals and tourism) and the need to safeguard and record aspects of its cultural heritage. The book also provides a summary of important developments in Saharan studies and shows how these can contribute to modern planning and development of the desert regions. 606 $aHistory / Africa$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial Science / Archaeology$2bisacsh 606 $aArt / African$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial sciences 615 7$aHistory / Africa 615 7$aSocial Science / Archaeology 615 7$aArt / African 615 0$aSocial sciences 702 $aMattingly$b David J 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910852987403321 996 $aThe Libyan Desert$94209717 997 $aUNINA
