Reviews

The aerial photography is wonderfully presented and illustrates well Bowker's discussion of selected sites and their significance., All the material is written in an accessible, easy-to-read style, while the gorgeous aerial photographs nicely complement the text., Religious studies professor John Bowker (Cambridge University) and photographs Sonia Halliday and Bryan Knox combine their talents to produce this splendid photographic volume that highlights major biblical sites in the Holy Land.... This is a delightful and informative read., This beautifully produced book will make an excellent birthday or bar/bat mitzvah present.... Israel and the Palestinian areas unfold gloriously. Spanning 256 pages, this is a book well worth reading, re-reading and savouring., This beautifully produced book will make an excellent birthday or bar/bat mitzvah present.... Israel and the Palestinian areas unfold gloriously. Spanning 256 pages, this is a book well worth reading, re-reading and savouring. Although it looms large in the popular cultural and religious worlds, It is easy to forget just how small is the territory that we know as the Holy Land -- about the size of Massachusetts or New Hampshire. This handsome book offers a useful primer on the fractious history of the region....
