Summary "Missions au Sahara, tome 1 : Sahara algérien" by E. F. Gautier is a scientific publication likely written in the early 20th century. This work documents the author's travels and explorations through the Algerian Sahara, detailing the geographic, geological, and ethnographic characteristics of the region. Through a systematic approach, Gautier and his co-author, R. Chudeau, aim to provide a comprehensive account that synthesizes their findings, with an emphasis on the northern Sahara. The beginning of the publication sets the stage for an exploration of the Sahara, reflecting on the journeys undertaken by Gautier between 1902 and 1905, often in partnership with Chudeau. The authors emphasize their efforts to categorize and illuminate the unique geographical features of the Sahara, such as its dunes, rivers (oueds), and types of soil, while also addressing the cultural and historical context of the region. Interestingly, Gautier highlights the importance of accurately incorporating Arabic terminology into scientific discourse about the desert, asserting that such language is necessary for clarity and precision in understanding this distinct landscape.
