Camel Crazy: A Quest for Miracles in the Mysterious World of Camels
by: Adams, Christina
In this page-turning odyssey, a mother on a mission travels the globe
-- from Bedouin camps in the Middle East to Amish farms in Pennsylvania
to camel-herder villages in India -- to obtain camel milk, which dramatically
helps her son's autism symptoms. Chronicling bureaucratic roadblocks,
adventure-filled detours, and Christina Adams's love-fueled determination,
Camel Crazy explores why camels are cherished as family members and hailed
as healers. Adams's work uncovers studies of camel milk for possible treatment
of autism, allergies, diabetes, and immune dysfunction, as well as ancient
traditions of healing. But the most fascinating aspect of Adams's discoveries
is the gentle-eyed, mischievous camels themselves. Huge and often unpredictable,
they are amazingly intelligent and adaptable. This moving and rollicking
ode to "camel people" and the creatures they adore reveals the
ways camels touch lives around the world. Includes users' and buyers'
guides to camel's milk. 304 pgs.

Camel Farming in Sudan
by: Miller, Frederic
High Quality Content by Wikipedia articles! Over the past few decades
camels have regained recognition for their food-producing potential in
arid and semi-arid areas of Sudan. After having been dismissed as uneconomical
by the Sudanese government, their vital role in supporting human populations
in some of the poorest and frequently drought-stricken areas of the world
has now been widely acknowledged. The devastating African drought in 1984-1985
demonstrated that camel ownership can give pastoralists a competitive
edge and an excellent chance for survival.Whereas entire herds of cattle,
sheep and goats succumbed to the arid conditions, camel populations survived
relatively unscatherd. Consequently, some pastoral groups with deeply
ingrained traditions of cattle herding, such as the Samburu in northern
Kenya, started to acquire camels, a fact which has come to the attention
of development agencies and international organizations. In parts of the
rain-fed agricultural belt of the Sudan, current developments suggest
that cames are indeed able to be integrated with crop cultivation systems.

Camel Meat & Meat Products
Edited: Kadim & Mahgoub & Faye & Farouk
Camel meat has many benefits as a meat product. It has low fat content
and is highly nutritious, and has potential to be used to combat hyperacidity,
hypertension, pneumonia and respiratory disease. This book reviews up-to-date
literature on camel meat and meat products, carcass and meat quality characteristics,
muscle structure, post-mortem analysis and the nutritive value to humans.
A comparatively small component of global meat consumption, camel meat
has the potential to undergo an explosion of production worldwide, and
currently farming for camel meat in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Australia
is undergoing significant expansion. The potential of camel meat in helping
to meet projected world food shortages, and being sustainably farmed,
is also explored by the editors. 248 pgs.

Camels To California
by: Fowler, Harlan
Legend of the camel caravans from Texas to California in the late 1850's.
Following the war with Mexico, the US decided to use camels to solve the
problem of transportation in the arid Southwest. By 1857, two shiploads
of camels had landed in Texas, and through subsequent years both Bactrian
& Dromedary camels were used extensilvely for the carrying of supplies
& express & the pioneering of new routes between Texas & California.
With advancing times the camels' usefullness came to an end & some were
auctioned off to circuses while other were left in the desert to fend for
themselves. In this book, Harlan Fowler brings the complete story to pubilcation
for the first time. Quoting from historical documents & drawing on his
own personal exploration of the Army camps & trails, he traces this
experiment from it's inception in the mind of Jefferson Davis, through the
procuring & transporting of the beasts, and on to the myths & folklore
that have grown from this time. Includes sketches from the time as well
as B/W photos. 93 pgs.

Noble Brutes: Camels On the American Frontier
by: Eva Boyd
Details the United States government's experiment with camels in the U.S.
Army before the outbreak of the Civil War. Imported from the Middle East
in 1856 on the navy's USS Supply, both the dromedary and bactrian were

survey expeditions across the arid Southwest. Here is the account of the
exploration of the Big Bend region of Texas, the story of a Texas governor
who came to the rescue of several camels abandoned on Galveston Island,
camels grazing in Hill Country pastures, camels turned loose to fend for
themselves, camels seeking human companionship, and the frightening tale
of the legendary Red Ghost.
With a collection of rare photographs, drawings, and maps, this historically
accurate narrative is highlighted by numerous excerpts from journals by
those who actually lived the adventure. 255 pgs.
