Inside This Book (Learn More)
First Sentence
Human history in Palestine extends over half a million years, and is more complicated than that of other regions because Palestine is a narrow land bridge between the vast land masses of Africa and Asia; peoples from north and south have moved back and forth across it continuously. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars The Holy Land Oxford Archaeological Guide, 24 Mar 2009
By R. J. Such - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Excellent. Not a glossy photo guide. Those have their place; but this selects and describes a good cross section of sites in an interesting and informative way.It also includes helpful practical information about visiting. Had I been looking for a photo guide, I might have been disappointed by the advertising which was not clear on the type of illustrations.
