Breathtaking folio-sized reproductions of large-format photographs capture sacred vistas, images of awe, serenity, and ravishing beauty: the Oasis of Ain Umm-Ahmed, the view from the summit of Mount Sinai, a Bedouin orchard in the midst of a desert wadi, the dusty life of village and town, the Temple Mount, and the Wailing Wall. Accompanying these photographs are Neil Folberg's delightful firsthand narratives recounting the humorous and harrowing adventures of a photographer in a politically troubled and naturally formidable land. While Folberg entreats only that you follow him into the landscape of his vision and derive pleasure wandering and wondering, the photographs of In a Desert Land - celebrations of beauty sacred and natural - are in fact moving prayers and persuasive arguments for sanity and peace in a reckless region and a volatile world.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49528135713041,"sku":"GOR002851095","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49615303868689,"sku":"GOR002841198","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50239190335761,"sku":"CIN0789201259G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50646480683281,"sku":"CIN0789201259VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0789201259.jpg?v=1751427560"},{"product_id":"and-i-shall-dwell-among-them-book-neil-folberg-9780893819385","title":"And I Shall Dwell Among Them","description":"This unique volume provides self-contained accounts of some recent trends in Biostatistics methodology and their applications.

With his last book, Travels with Van Gogh and the Impressionists, Neil Folberg—already well known as a photographer of landscape and architecture—took his work in a surprising, and successful, new direction, using costumed actors and carefully arranged settings to reconstruct the milieux of some of the world’s most beloved artists. Serpent’s Chronicle represents a further evolution of Folberg’s interest in staged photography: here, the images form a continuous narrative, namely, the story of Adam and Eve, as seen through the eyes of the Serpent. For this ambitious exercise in pictorial storytelling, acted by modern dancers and set in a wild Mediterranean valley, Folberg draws upon the full range of his artistic resources as a photographer in color and black and white, and of the landscape, the human figure, and even the night sky; the result, according to ARTnews, is a series of “lush depictions” that use “subtle anachronism, metaphor, and theatricality to memorable effect.”  To memorable effect and, one might add, in a spirit of serious spiritual inquiry; Folberg’s imaginative retelling of the story, based on an ancient oral tradition and accompanied by a poetic text, addresses the profound questions inherent in the biblical account. For instance, how could there be a state of paradise with only one human inhabitant? And how could conflict be avoided if there were two? Presenting Adam and Eve as Everyman and Everywoman, in a time and place at once archetypal and contemporary, Folberg shows us that the story of Eden is the true prototype of every human relationship and endeavor.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50178252275985,"sku":"CIN0789211408VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0789211408.jpg?v=1750703343"},{"product_id":"in-a-desert-land-photographs-of-israel-egypt-and-jordan-book-neil-folberg-9780896597594","title":"In a Desert Land : Photographs of Israel, Egypt, and Jordan","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50300354560273,"sku":"CIN0896597598VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50366606803217,"sku":"CIN0896597598G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0896597598.jpg?v=1751363774"},{"product_id":"and-i-shall-dwell-among-them-historic-synagogues-of-the-world-book-neil-folberg-9780893819408","title":"And I Shall Dwell Among Them:Historic Synagogues of the World","description":"For nearly two millennia, from the year 70 until 1948 and the founding of Israel, the Jewish people were without a homeland. But wherever they wandered in the great Diaspora, the tradition of building synagogues continued, not only as a refuge for their beliefs but as a testament to their accomplishments as a people. Neil Folberg set out on a three-year journey, visiting Jewish communities in places as far-ranging as India, the Czech Republic, Israel, the American South, the Caribbean islands, the Canadian area, and the United States - with the magnificent Touro synagogue (Newport, RI) - to document the incredible beauty, diversity, and complexity of these buildings, which serve as centers of the communities and preserve continuity between past, present, and future generations. In the extraordinary variety and the intimacy and richness of their detail, the pictures reveal how the world's synagogues form what Folberg has called \"a crown for the Jewish people.\"","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50465389379857,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50465390625041,"sku":"CIN0893819409G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0893819409.jpg?v=1751044745"},{"product_id":"serpent-s-chronicle-book-neil-folberg-9780789211385","title":"Serpent's Chronicle","description":"Serpents Chronicle represents a further evolution of Folbergs interest in staged photography.
