NO OF PAGES: 380 SUB CAT I: Israel SUB CAT II: SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: Israel. Situated at the crossroads of three continents, this small nation has played an integral role in the history of civilization: the site of Abraham's covenant with God, of David's kingdom and Jesus' struggles. Today, Israel is once more making history, as the homeland of the Jewish people, reborn after 2000 years of dispersion. And Israel offers the traveler a unique spectrum of experience: from the golden beaches of Tel Aviv to the golden domes and spires of Jerusalem, from the aquatic wonderland of the Red Sea to the mineral spas of the Dead Sea to the placid quietude of the Sea of Galilee. With this volume APA has assembled a world-class team of experts to put you in the Levant, incorporating over 320 pages of vivid text., detailed maps, lavish photographs and practical information. Taking you across the landscape of country, introducing you to the people and history, and featuring nine special essays on such topics as archaeology, kibbutzim and ecology, Insight Guide: Israel is an unrivaled introduction to the Promised Land.NOTES: Donated by Mike Merryman.
