本书研究了阿曼土地和社会组织之间的传统关系，以及它们是如何演变的。作者从干旱的主题开始，利用1200年历史的伊巴迪社区的大量文献来补充他的实地工作，展示了水资源开发技术如何影响了该国的社会组织及其政治意识形态。他描述了定居点的组织是如何经历两个阶段的演变的：第一个阶段是在伊斯兰教之前，波斯人使用水平水道灌溉土地;第二个阶段是在阿拉伯人推翻波斯人之后，受伊巴主义的影响，在那些村庄建立了一个由强大的部落结构主导的更加民主的社会。部落结构，然后详细审查和作者显示如何密切的联系之间的伊斯兰意识形态，土地使用和社会组织。作为对阿曼人文地理以及中东一般知识的贡献，这本书将引起阿拉伯人，伊斯兰历史学家和社会人类学家以及水文学家和地理学家的兴趣。
This book is a study of the traditional relationships that exist in Oman between land and social organisation, and how they have evolved. The author starts with the theme of aridity and, using the extensive literature of the 1200 year old Ibadi community to supplement his field work, shows how the techniques of water exploitation have influenced the countrys social organisation and its political ideology. He describes how the settlement organisation has evolved in two stages; the first in the years before Islam when the Persians irrigated the land using aflaj or horizontal water channels; the second after the Arabs had overthrown the Persians and, influenced by Ibadism, established a more democratic society dominated by a strong tribal structure in the villages. The tribal structure is then examined in detail and the author shows how close the links are between the Islamic ideology, land use, and social organisation. As a contribution to the human geography of Oman as well as to general knowledge of the Middle East the book will interest Arabists, Islamic historians and social anthropologists, as well as hydrologists and geographers.
