Libya is a comprehensive guidebook written by Helen Chapin Metz that provides a detailed description of the geography, history, culture, and politics of Libya. The book begins with an overview of Libya's physical features, including its deserts, mountains, and coastal regions. It then delves into the country's rich history, from the ancient civilizations of the Phoenicians and Romans to the modern-day conflicts that have shaped the nation.The book also explores Libya's diverse culture, including its art, music, cuisine, and religious practices. It provides information on the various ethnic groups that call Libya home, as well as the languages spoken in the country.In addition, Libya covers the political landscape of the country, including its government structure and the challenges it faces in the post-Gaddafi era. The book also discusses the country's economy, including its oil industry and the role it plays in the global market.Overall, Libya is an informative and comprehensive guidebook that provides readers with a deep understanding of this fascinating and complex country.By this time, the revolutionary government had come to look upon tribal organization and values as antithetical to its policies. Even Qadhafi, despite his beduin roots, viewed tribes as anachronistic and as obstacles to modernization. Consequently, the government sought to break the links between the rural population and its traditional leaders by focusing attention on a new elite--the modernizers who represented the new leadership. The countryside was divided into zones that crossed old tribal boundaries, combining different tribes in a common zone and splitting tribes in a manner that weakened traditional institutions and the force of local kinship.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
