Gardens of Paradise: The History and Design of the Great Islamic Gardens
John Brookes
The garden is the image of Paradise in the Quran. John Brookes traces its physical origins to age-old methods of irrigation, and charts its spread with the spread of Islam in India, Persia, Turkey, Egypt, Sicily, North Africa and Muslim Spain.
