Sharjah : now & then
This significant historical and visual archive documents the urban and cultural evolution of the Emirate of Sharjah over several decades. Through a \"side-by-side\" comparative format, John and Robert Nowell utilize rare archival photography from the mid-20th century—much of it from the authors' personal collections and the early days of the British Presence—juxtaposed with contemporary images to illustrate the emirate’s rapid transition from a coastal trading post to a modern cultural capital.

Now & then : Bahrain
\"Now & Then: Bahrain\" is a sophisticated visual record that employs the \"re-photography\" technique to document the dramatic urban and social metamorphosis of the Kingdom of Bahrain. John J. Nowell leverages his extensive archive of historical photographs—many dating back to the mid-20th century—and pairs them with contemporary shots taken from the exact same vantage points. The volume provides a stark, side-by-side analysis of how the discovery of oil and subsequent modernization have reshaped the island nation's landscape, from its traditional pearling villages to the futuristic skyline of Manama.
