This third edition of Maqsood's excellent compact guide to exploring the capitol of the Nabateans includes an overview of the city's history and highlights, and a variety of terrific walking tours along with suggestions of the best use of your time. With numerous maps and color photos. Please take the history chapter with a grain of salt; the biblical information is peculiar at best -- and unneeded.  (MDE02, $19.95)
