Galo Flordelis (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive) "Desert and Water Gardens of the Red Sea" by Cyril Crossland is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work explores the little-known coast of the Red Sea, focusing on its native peoples and unique shore formations. Crossland, a marine biologist, aims to provide information not only about the geography and ecology of the area but also about its cultural context and the beauty of its natural landscapes. The opening of the book begins with a detailed description of the Red Sea coast as seen through the author's eyes during an arrival by sea. Crossland paints vivid imagery of the coast's sandstone cliffs, fringing reefs, and coral gardens. He reflects on his initial misconceptions about the region, highlighting the stark desert backdrop that houses sparse vegetation and unique flora emerging after winter rains. His account sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the geological and biological features of the area, as well as the intricate connection between the environment and the lives of the local peoples. Through this introduction, readers are drawn into a blend of scientific observation and personal experience, creating a rich tapestry that promises further insights into both the physical and cultural landscapes of the Red Sea.
