Bulliet draws on archaeology, art, anthropology and camel husbandry to explore the implications -- from the Middle Ages to the present -- of the dependence on the camel for transport from Morocco to Afghanistan. Originally published in 1975, The Camel and The Wheel won the Dexter Prize of the Society of the History of Technology. Bulliet is a professor of history at Columbia University.  (MDE96, $30.00)
