As the author and editor of ten books and over sixty papers, and the recipient of three prestigious awards (President Ben-Zvi Prize, Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain, Israel Prize), Emanuel Marx needs no introduction to scholars of nomadic pastoralism or to those interested in the contemporary societies of the Arab world. Born in Munich, Germany, in 1927, he studied first at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he took his M.A., and then went on to do his Ph.D. at the University of Manchester. In terms of professional experience, Emanuel is a cosmopolitan, having lectured and researched at the universities of Manchester, Tel-Aviv, Berkeley, Brandeis, Cape Town, Oxford, Copenhagen and at the Institute for Desert Research of the Ben Gurion University of the Negev and finally at the Israeli Academic Center in Cairo.
