Product Description
Sheba, or Saba, was a region of high mountains and vast desert situated in the southwest of the Arabian peninsula, in modern-day Yemen. In the ancient Mediterranean world it was the fabled source of merchant caravans laden with aromatic spices. The mysteries and riches of Sheba and its people figures in the works of classical authors like Heroditus, and enticed the likes of King Solomon, Alexander the Great, the Emperor Augustus, and kings of Ethiopia and Byzantium. From the 8th century BC to the first century AD, the kingdom of Sheba dominated other realms of Southern Arabia, imposing its language, institutions and artistic forms throughout the region. In "Arabia Felix from the Time of the Queen of Sheba", Jean-Francios Breton provides a fascinating and detailed description of this remote civilization, the uniqueness of the region's geography and climate, and major events that shaped its history. Calling on the resources of modern archaeological discoveries, he offers valuable insights into the Sabeans' daily life, their agriculture and skill in irrigation, their customs and religion, their modes of commerce and their relations with neighbouring civilizations.

BookStore - Another common type of bookstore is the used bookstore or second-hand bookshop which sells used and out-of-print books. A range of titles are available in used bookstores, including in print and out of print books. Book collectors tend to frequent used book stores. Large online bookstores offer used books for sale, too. Individuals wishing to sell their used books using online bookstores agree to terms outlined by the bookstore(s): for example, paying the online bookstore(s) a predetermined commission once the books have sold. Bookstores can range in size offering from several hundred to several hundred thousands of books. They may be brick-and-mortar stores or internet only stores or a combination of both. Sizes for the larger bookstores exceed half a million titles. Bookstores often sell other printed matter besides books, such as newspapers; additional product lines may vary enormously, particularly among independent bookstores. Colleges and universities often have their own student bookstore on campus that focuses on providing course textbooks and scholarly books, although some on-campus bookstores are owned by large chains.
