This is a new series of guides to the archaeology of Libya, from prehistoric times until the invasion of the Bani Hilal in AD 1051, written by acknowledged experts for the non-specialist traveller. The first volume, TRIPOLITANIA by Philip Kenrick, deals with a region which offers the visitor not only the classical splendours of UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as Sabratha and Lepcis Magna, but also a hinterland which is rich in standing monuments of the Punic, Roman and early Islamic periods. All are described and explained in a comprehensive gazetteer. Contains:

• Historical background, from prehistory until the early Middle Ages
• Regional maps, site plans, drawings and reconstructions of individual buildings
• Museum layout plans and guides to displays
• Navigating instructions, with GPS coordinates for most sites
• Lavish photography in colour
