The primary source of infonnation on all aspects of
the geography of the Middle East is the TubingerAtlas
des Vorderen Orients (Wiesbaden, 1968-1993). The
several hundred sheets of this serial publication and its
many supplementary monographs include a wealth of
information on most of the linguistic and religious
groups in the region. V
The coverage of the Middle East in Atlas Narodov
Mira (Moscow, 1964) was remarkably explicit at that
time and is still useful as a source of information on
the location of linguistically defined groups.
The Middle East Journal and Asian Bulletin are good
sources for infonnation on recent events.
A convenient list of useful literature on the human and
physical geography of the region appears in the
section devoted to Southwest Asia and North Africa
in A Geographical Bibliography for American
Libraries (Washington, DC: Association of American
Geographers, 1985).
The London-based Minority Rights Group has issued
several reports on Middle Eastern topics. No one vol-
ume deals adequately with ethnicity and nationality in
the Middle East. However, Carleton Coon’s Caravan:
The Story of the Middle East (New York, 1951) is still
useful and stimulating in spite of its early postcolonial
date.
