Born on a Christmas tree farm in rural Oregon in , Dr. Fromherz's interest in the Middle East and North Africa began during his Fulbright research scholarship to Morocco. He also spent several years teaching and researching in the Gulf. His latest book is The Center of the World: A Global History of the Persian Gulf from the Stone Age to the Present.
