Blind White Fish in Persia by Anthony Smith: hardback w/dust jacket, 1st 1953

Description: Blind White Fish in Persia: illustrated with Photographs This book gives an account of a small Oxford University/Exploration Club expedition to Persia in 1950 to bring back specimens of a fish, allegedly white and sightless, which was said to inhabit the underground water-courses of Iran. Though the four young men a zoologist (author), Soil chemist, a geographer and a bontanist made up the expedition could find no evidence of a blind white fisht, they discovered rural Persia where villagers still led medieval lives. The story includes an account of the qanats - the underground irrigation and tunnels employing ancient technology which still crisscross the country making life in the desert possible.
