The Aerial Atlas of the Holy Land by John Bowker

The Aerial Atlas of the Holy Land by John Bowker

The ancient lands of Galilee, Samaria, and Judea stand at a crossroads in western and eastern history. Sites such as Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and Nazareth exert a huge pull over millions of Christian and Muslim pilgrims, and countless others who dream of making such a journey themselves - fascinated by the area's unparalleled historical and religious heritage. "The Mitchell Beazley Aerial Atlas of the Holy Land" manages to do unique justice to the beauty, mystery, and grandeur of the region. It offers the reader a series of breathtaking aerial portraits and fascinating maps of 25 key sites dating from Biblical times to the Muslim Conquest, together with the landscape and sites that surround them. The result is a beautiful and useful reference work on one of history's most fascinating locations.
