What is it like to travel in the Islamic Republic of Iran? In
June 2012, Canadian scholar Adam Jones and his companion Griselda RamÃrez made a 26-day, 7,000-kilometer private
tour through the western half of the country, accompanied only by their guide, Mahmood,
and driver Samad. They visited most of Iran’s major cities along with many
smaller towns, and travelled to remote frontier areas of Iranian Azerbaijan and
Kurdistan. IN IRAN guides us from the
suburbs and cemeteries of Tehran to the dizzying vistas of the Zagros and
Alborz mountain ranges … from the salt flats of Lake Orumiyeh to the splendors
of ancient Persepolis … from the wastes of the Central Desert to the cosmopolitan
charms and classic architecture of Shiraz and Isfahan. Along the way, the
reader absorbs much of Iranian history, politics, culture, and geography; gets
to know Mahmood and Samad; and encounters an array of Iran’s dynamic, diverse,
and ever-welcoming people. Uniquely, the text of IN IRAN incorporates links to hundreds of vivid images that Jones,
a widely-published photojournalist, captured throughout his Iranian journey. The
photos provide a constant and colorful accompaniment to this engaging,
original, and up-to-the-minute account of one of the world’s most controversial
and misunderstood countries – and one of its most historic and enduring civilizations.
