Books by Judith Scheele

2. Judith Scheele, Shifting Sands: A Human History of the Sahara .  A quite good, informative, and readable book on a very much undercovered topic.  Saharan civilization is something that runs deeper, and is more coherent, than any set of national boundaries in the region.  The author spent years living in the Saharan region of Chad.  Recommended, a good example of “you should read a book about a topic you are not thinking of reading about.”
